Migrant workers along with their family members walk to their villages amid the nationwide lockdown, in wake of coronavirus (COVİD-19) pandemic in New Delhi on March 29, 2020. Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers left New Delhi on Saturday (March 29) to return to their villages after losing their jobs and incomes because of India's three-week coronavirus shutdown. Now homeless, tens of thousands of unemployed workers - those who could afford the fare home - crowded the main bus terminal, and other transport hubs, in central New Delhi while those less fortunate, including some woman and children, had to walk. Most of the migrant workers' home villages are hundreds of miles from the Indian capital. India has an estimated migrant labour work force of 120 million labourers who are now unable to pay rent or buy food in the crowded cities. India's population of 1.3 billion people have been asked by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to remain at home for three weeks in the biggest lockdown in the world in an attempt to prevent the spread of Covid-19. India has so far reported 979 cases of coronavirus, including 25 deaths.
