Will the government repay me the money I have lost due to the lockdown? #MigrantDiaries
I’m Dilip Rana, a construction worker.I hail from Odisha & have worked in Mumbai for 15 years. My income supports my wife and 3 daughters back home. #MigrantDiaries
During the lockdown CJP helped us with emergency rations, but with no hope of work restarting, I was forced to head back home with 50 other migrant workers in the back of a truck. Needless to say social distancing was far from possible. #MigrantDiaries

I’m Tinku Sheikh, a ‘rajmistri’ (expert mason/foreman) from West Bengal, working in Mumbai. I left behind elderly parents, an ailing wife and a 4 year old daughter. #MigrantDiaries
When the lockdown was extended for the first time we feared starvation. That’s when CJP came to our aid & provided us rations. I will never forget what they did for us.
