Amidst the rising number of COVID cases in the national capital, some of the migrant workers have started returning to their native places in fear of imposition of lockdown. Some alone, with backpacks, while some with their families, migrant workers can be seen leaving for their home at ISBT, Anand Vihar and other key transit points in the city. With increasing COVID numbers the fear of imposition of lockdown has been making migrant workers anxious. Gouri Shankar Sharma, who hails from Lucknow, told ANI, "The way COVID numbers are rising, there are chances of lockdown. There is no work. So I am leaving."
