Despite Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's appeal, migrant workers gather at Anand Vihar Bus Terminal to return home

Soon after the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that the present lockdown in the city was a relatively 'short' one, and promised that the government will 'take care' of the migrants through this crisis, hundreds of migrant workers were seen leaving for their home states from the Anand Vihar Bus Terminal.

The Delhi government on Monday announced a six-day Covid-19 lockdown from 10 pm on April 19 till 5 am on April 26 and urged migrant workers to not leave the national capital during this period.

However, the migrant workers said that this time they are prepared to handle the situation in advance so that they are not stuck in the city with no money and food.
