LPG Crisis | Delhi's Kitchens Go Cold: LPG Crisis Forces Migrants To Quietly Flee The Capital
A silent exodus is unfolding at Delhi’s major railway stations. From Anand Vihar to Hazrat Nizamuddin, the city’s backbone- gig workers, daily wage laborers and informal laborers- are packing their lives into sacks and heading back to their villages.
