New Delhi: Several organisations and individuals have given a call to state governments to bring out all idle transport vehicles from garages and mobilise them to carry migrant workers home. They have also requested that more inter-state trains be run so that no workers are left behind in cities where they cannot sustain livelihoods.In a statement, the organisations noted that in spite of efforts, “it is clear that the present efforts by the state governments to organise transport from select cities and towns are not adequate to cover all the workers who want to get home. While the workers walk, the Central government continues to evade any real action that will ensure assistance in providing wheels to the workers.”Also read: Ground Report: Why Migrants Think They’re Being ‘Held Captive’ at Delhi Shelter HomesThe migrant labour crisis has intensified over the last fortnight, with labourers desperately trying to reach their homes amidst uncertainty of work availability in cities. While many have been walking hundreds of kilometres, others have latched onto punishing transport options, like crowded trucks. Several have died on their way in ghastly road accidents.The distress of the workers, the signatories write, can be alleviated if truck owners associations, private bus owners associations and respective State Transport Corporation fleets are deployed to intercept walking workers and carry them home.“To facilitate this, it is necessary that the state governments permit the free movement of all types of vehicles carrying workers, across state borders and check posts.”The signatories also urged that authorities refrain from charging any toll fee on the highways or from the workers who built these roads in the first place. “We also request that border security is notified in advance to not create difficulties in the way of such vehicles plying the various National Highways.”The organisations also took to Twitter with the hashtag #WheelsForWorkers.A full list of the signatories are as follows:Organizations and Networks:Adivasi sangathan, Madhya PradeshAajeevika BureauAll Delhi Trade Union’s Association, DelhiAll India Students’ Association (AISA)All India Unorganized and Domestic Workers Congress, DelhiAmbedkar Periyar Phule Study Circle, IIT BombayAmbedkar Periyar Study Circle, IIT MadrasCentre for Education and CommunicationCentre for Human Rights, Justice and Peace, AhmedabadCentre for Social Development, HyderabadCitizens for Justice and PeaceConfluence, IISER MohaliDelhi Asangathit Nirman Mazdoor Union (INTUC/BWI), DelhiDelhi Construction Workers Union, DelhiForum Against Oppression of Women, MumbaiGanatantrik Adhikaar Suraksha Sanghathan (GASS), OdishaGhar Bachao Ghar Banao Andolan, MumbaiHabitat and Livelihood Welfare Association, MumbaiHelping Hands Charitable Trust, MumbaiIIT Bombay for JusticeIndian National Migrants workers Union, DelhiInformation and Resource Centre for Deprived Urban Communities IRCDUC, ChennaiJan Swasthya Abhiyan, MumbaiLittle India Foundation, New DelhiLockdown Relief Project, MumbaiLok Manch National Facilitation CentreMigrant Workers Help Group, KeralaMigrant Workers Solidarity, OdishaMigrant Workers’ Solidarity Network (MWSN)Mumbai Responds Relief NetworkMumbai TB CollectiveNational Federation of Handloom and Handicraft Workers, HyderabadNational Labour Foundation, DelhiNirman Mazdoor Adhikar Abhiyan, DelhiPeople First Collective India (PFCI)People in Distress, WBPeople’s Union for Civil Liberties – PUCL, IndiaPeople’s Union for Civil Liberties – PUCL, MaharashtraPeople’s Union for Civil Liberties – PUCL, OdishaRangoonwala Foundation (India) Trust, MumbaiREAD, ErodeSAHARA – Stranded Humans Relief & Aid GroupSahayini Social Development Society, MumbaiSamanvaya, MumbaiSamta Sainik Dal, MaharashtraSankalp Rehabilitation Trust, MumbaiSevaShakti, MumbaiSocial Environment Educational Development Society, DelhiStranded Workers Action Network (SWAN)Thozhilalar Koodam, ChennaiUnited Against HateWestern Harm Reduction NetworkYuMetta Foundation, PuneIndividuals:Amudhan, Film-maker, ChennaiAshok Khandelwal, CitizenAsmita AbhyankarBhaswati ChakravortyBrinelle Dsouza, TISSChristy Abraham, CitizenDebranjan, Film-maker, OdishaErnesto Noronha, IIM, AhmedabadFr.
