"They felt abandoned by their governments and society."
Our reporter Prateek Goyal travelled for 300 kms on the Pune-Indore Highway to capture some stories of migrant workers walking back home. What he witnessed was worse than he could've have imagined. And all I could think was how we, as their fellow countrymen, had utterly failed them.
This video is a part of the "Traveling with Migrants" NL Sena project and was funded by 13 people. It was made possible thanks to Sridhar Raghuraman, Ravinder Dasila, Vishal Sharma, Huma Siddique, Siddharth P, Kashif Sayeed, Suraj Ravichandran, Sreekanth, Yateesh C, Nilkanth, Thejaswini, and other NL Sena members.
Voice-over in the video is by Atul Chaurasia.
