Coronavirus has tested human kind on more than one aspects, be it foresight, discipline, decision making, and what not. Because of the sudden and somewhat unexpected lockdown, all of us suffered from fear, loneliness and anxiety but the poor and weaker sections of out society bared the brunt of this situation. The migrants were stuck in lonely places, away from home with not source of income or a way to sustain.
Thousands of people like the dailywage earners found themselves to be unemployed without a warning. And in times like these it becomes the responsibility of us, fellow humans, to help people out.
