Episode 8 of Season 2 - In this episode we spoke with migrant workers who walked thousands of kilometers to reach their homes in different part of India. We also spoke with labourers who travelled by train and faced hardships. When there was no livelihood options open due to lockdown, millions of labourers walked to their homes. This episode is an effort to capture the gist of their huge suffering on the way and in their hometowns.
