Corona virus lockdown in India: Video of a child sleeping on a suitcase goes viral

A video is circulating on Indian media and social media in which a child is sleeping on a suitcase and his mother is walking while pulling the suitcase. According to Indian media, the mother and child were part of a small group traveling from Punjab to Jhansi, a journey of 800 km. It was not immediately clear when the video was made or by whom, but it was shared by several people and the Indian media on Thursday. This video was also shared by Arvind Chauhan, a journalist of Times of India. In the video, a man asks a woman where she is going. She says 'Jhansi'. He then asks why the buses run by the state government for the refugees in the lockdown do not get on and go on foot, why are they going on foot? The woman does not answer further and continues her walk. The sudden lockdown in the country has sparked a debate about workers trapped in cities, with the video coming under further criticism from authorities. Some people are even saying that this video is a picture of the struggle and difficulties of the people trying to reach their homes in the lockdown.

A user named Akash Banerjee shared a heartbreaking photo of a 3-year-old Kurdish refugee child who drowned during the Syrian refugee crisis, in which Ilan Kurdi's body was found lying face down on the beach. At the same time, Akash Banerjee posted a picture of the sleeping Indian child and asked, "Can we help him before it's too late?" "When I see children in such a bad situation, my heart breaks," says Nitin Monga. The government is not doing anything for the poor.

A handle from IM Indian tweeted, “Refugee families are on the streets of India. What a horrible sight. I'm ashamed and I'm sorry we didn't do anything for them. Both the central and state governments have failed. ”Journalist Sakshi Joshi says everyone should bow their heads in shame. He criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Rs 2 lakh crore relief package and said that he would not "applaud the government" with these pictures. "How long will the laborer endure all this?" Says Preeti Yadav. For how long? The government does not see all this. With the announcement of the lockdown, workers from towns and villages in major cities were forced to return to their areas on foot. The story of Ranveer Singh, who worked as a delivery man in Delhi, was also met with outrage. He had no other means of returning to his village so he had to walk to his village in Madhya Pradesh and on the way he was killed near Agra.
