Migrants Are Panicked, So They Are Returning To Their Villages: Abhijeet Banerjee

Nobel laureate Abhijit Banerjee said that the migrants are leaving cities to return to their villages as they are panicked.
Abhijeet said that the migrants do not know what they are guaranteed at a time when the country is under lockdown in view of the coronavirus pandemic.
He further added that he was not surprised by the desperation the migrants in India are showing to go to their villages back home.
"The economic pressures are obvious. At home, they all might have some land and other resources to survive."
Abhijeet said that a lot of these people, they send money home so, they don't have much to fall back on.
