The name of the man is Logesh Baasubrmani, he is among the lakhs of daily workers and migrant workers who have been suffered a lot by the sudden lockdown for 21-days nationwide and in the absence of sheter, income, food, forced to walk on backbreaking journey to Tamil Nadu from nagpur on foot.
"We were walking for the last three days. There was no transport. Random people gave us food. Someone gave us a lift, like truckers going back after dropping supplies. The police were beating the drivers for helping us," said Satya, one of the worker of the group.
Know The Whole Story
"Logesh was sitting in his place and suddenly he just fell back. We call a government doctor who came and declared him dead. The body has been sent to Gandhi Hospital for post-mortem," said Akula Balakrishna, a local leader of the area corporator Akula Rupha. "We just want to go home. Please help us get the permissions. If we get a vehicle, that is great. Otherwise we will just walk home," other migrant workers pleaded./stackumbrella/media/media_files/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/0589tmqs_coronavirus-lockdown-migrants-ndtv-_625x300_02_April_20-1.jpg)
