At the New Delhi Railway Station, hundreds of migrants can be seen returning to their native places in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh from Delhi owing to delays in deliveries and higher prices in the black market for LPG cylinders. While some plan to return to Delhi hoping the situation will normalise within a couple of weeks, others rely on the security that the village provides through alternative arrangements.
Anju Kumari, a resident of Kapashera in Delhi and a native of Patna, said it has been 15 days since she switched to firewood for cooking after her husband lost his employment when the food stall he worked at shut down. “Our landlord had allowed us to use firewood unlike many of our friends and relatives. But if there is no work, why would we stay back?” she said.
