Scenes at the Delhi-UP border today. Complete failure of State and Central administrations, to not have foreseen this, to not doing anything about this.
Suffice it to say that lockdown would begin in earnest after a week. #CoronvirusLockdown.

Every large State is grappling with reverse migration. Care for migrant labour should be the priority right now. Close coordination between States is a must.
We need to accept the fact that the real lockdown would begin after a week. #CoronavirusLockdown

Maharashtra, second only to Delhi in net- in-migration, is not witnessing the scenes Delhi is. What is @OfficeofUT doing right?
Note the size of Delhi's migrant population. It would be calamitous if @LtGovDelhi and @ArvindKejriwal do not get a grip on the situation very soon.

Dear @narendramodi. This is an unprecedented, catastrophic situation that has sprung up. Please think of relaxing the lockdown for one day and allow the plying of trains and buses for the migrant population. The 21 day lockdown can then begin in earnest. We all support it.
UP government accuses Delhi government of cutting off water and electricity connections of migrants, dropping them off in their thousands at the State borders.
This is SCARY if true. @ArvindKejriwal must answer @myogiadityanath on these serious charges. indianexpress.com/article/india/…

The reverse migration, if it continues, would be catastrophic, not only for the health and safety of the migrants but also for the success of the lockdown and all efforts at tackling the epidemic.

As @_skumar put it so well: yes, in these extraordinary times our warriors are the doctors, but in normal times our warriors are the migrant workers, fighting for us, running our country.

Both the States and the Centre are to be blamed for the Migrant catastrophe. This is nothing but Social Darwinism let loose on an monumental scale.
