Ramaswami: THE CPI(M) Delhi state committee, CITU, JMS, DYFI, SFI and other mass organisations, have reacted to the demands of migrant as well as other workers amidst the lockout due to Covid-19 pandemic. The announcement of the lockdown without any ameliorative measures saw mass migrations of workers to neighbouring states of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and even distant states like Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. Going by the hundreds of distress calls in the first few hours of the help line installed by the Party, it was clear that the working class in Delhi won’t be able to survive the lockdown without dry rations. This was brought to the notice of the Delhi government and simultaneously the volunteers of all the mass organisations also stepped in to provide dry rations to supplement the government efforts. The generous philanthropic contributions, as a response to the call given by the state CITU, helped in buying dry rations for the workers.
