Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
(1) Interstate migrant workers Act, 1979 is in force but neither the states nor the Centre got it implemented in any part of the country effectively and thus the Governments of the day have failed to implement rule of law.
(2) Similarly, the Disaster Management Act, 2005 mandates that there must be a district, state and national level action plan containing all the details of the are concerned and also of the public functionaries as well as private and Non Government sector to be used for the management of disaster without much disturbance to the public life of community at large and also with conducive efforts to contain and prevent the spread of effects of disaster, but all have failed in the discharge of their duty in the present time.
(3) With the passage of time since many years, the moral values are deteriorating in all walks of life and it hugely affects the power centres in Governments whether central or state. A drive is going on across the country’ administration to weed out the honest, law abiding public servants who comes in the ways of either corruption or in the ways of wrong and illegal or unconstitutional decisions of the Governments by way of wrong transfers, suspensions, terminations, removals, dismissals etc, which becomes a burden on judiciary which is overburdened already and to overburden the judiciary, the Governments are not filling nearly 35-40% of the sanctioned strength of judges of the High Courts deliberately, as about 80% of the total burden of cases, the Government is one of the party.
Encourage the voluntary return of the migrants. In view of the huge shock everyone need a break. Once the situation stabilizes and the migrant work force starts coming back, make it an orderly recorded return so there is no exploitation by the employers and the of the employers by the unions and the NGOs.
This would probably mean a closing down of lot of union, political and NGO shops.
Once the returning workforce is properly recorded based on AADHAR nos. it should be possible to ensure they get all their rights and are housed properly.
We have over the years tried the free movements and whatever else the impractical intellectuals under the garb of human rights have advocated. The covid-19 has taught us a lesson which we cannot ignore. MEASURE, MEASURE, MEASURE
The migrants who want to return must be allowed and The Railways must make a heroic effort to do it quickly. But the migrant exporting states must use this lesson and shame to initiate reforms and industrialize. Emphasis on Maa Mati Manush ie blocking land and labor reforms, no emphasis on education and family planning will be a constant drag on the nation. If the Southern states and western states can do it why not Bengal Bihar Jharkhand and UP
In the circumstance, it is necessary to address the sensitivity of the migrants. After explaining the pros ans cons of the movement back home (with no definite timeline for their return and re- employment), the choice should be left to the workers.
When the responsibility is taken by individuals, it is much easier to handle the ensuing situation either way.
One respects the contrary view, that migrants are needed to revive economic activity, but this is the right decision. Especially the use of trains in place of buses. The SG had told the SC that three out of ten returning migrants could have been infected, which was untrue. Instead of blocking those who were returning, their further journey ought to have been facilitated. The duration of the lockdown could not have been predicted on 24th March. On 1st May, it is clear that economic powerhouses like Bombay and Delhi will remain shut. So the only humane course of action is to let these migrants return home, see them through with food and money transfers. How much and how soon economic activity revives is difficult to predict. For America, Paul Krugman says it will be more like the Nike swoosh than a V shape. A time for the government to show its mettle.

Delhi se Bihar Jane ka koi form bhara Raha he par kaha se hamlog ko to kuchh paya hi nahi he
Good and diverse views. Migrants are human, must be treated alike by government.
