Migrant workers take to the streets in India as lockdown gets extended

At least 3,000 migrant workers in the Indian metropolitan Mumbai took to the roads on April 14 demanding transport to go back home. Similar protests also took place in Surat, Gujarat. The protests began following prime minister Narendra Modi’s address to the nation in which he extended the COVID-19 national lockdown for another three weeks without offering any solutions to the migrants’ plight.
