Migrant workers start returning to India in search of jobs

Every day, 200 to 400 Nepali migrant workers cross the Trinagar-Gauriphanta border into India, according to the Armed Police Force.

Despite prohibitory orders put in place by the district authorities, people’s movement through the Trinagar-Gauriphanta border point has not stopped. Nepali migrant workers who had returned home when the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic hit India are now making their way back to the country in search of jobs.
