By Arjun Kumar, Ritika Gupta, Sakshi Sharda* The second wave of Corona Virus has hit, the strain has proven to be more virulent. India in the past seven days has reported over three lakh cases per day. Currently, 150 districts in the country have a COVID positive rate passing 20 percent and hence debating a lockdown. This reminisce the terrifying images of the COVID-19 induced national lockdown in March 2020 which manifested the glaring gap in policy implementation in urban centers not accounting for the migrant population. It seems the country is back to the same page, none the wiser. To avoid the memoirs of 2020 erred lockdown, migrants are returning to their villages. This re-exodus of the migrants from urban centers is a result of trust deficit of this section of populous in the urban governance. Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address to the nation assured that a national lockdown will not be imposed, yet, economic activity which had just begun to make some form of recovery stands in jeopardy. This slowdown is rerunning the process towards lockdown, thus, motioning towards reverse migration while quantum of the problem is uncertain yet again.
