Fearing A Healthcare Crisis, Families Leaving Delhi

As states ease the coronavirus lockdown, it has also triggered a reverse migration from the national capital. Many people are compelled to return to their hometowns as they fear that the health services in the national capital won't be able to bear the burden due to rising COVID-19 cases. The shift is temporary but people are willing to make the journey back even if it's many miles away. And those unable to head home are looking at temporary options of moving just a little out of Delhi. Highway hotels in Haryana are getting a lot of calls for temporary stays. People have even approached real estate agents in Haryana's Panchkula district to look for houses on rent.
