The exodus of migrant workers from Delhi saw thousands and thousands of them rushing to leave the city, fearing for their lives, worried, insecure and uncertain about their future.
What it would do is damage the economy of Delhi for a long time. These were silent workers behind the boom of Delhi's construction, manufacturing, catering, personal services and shopping markets. The services and industries in cities from where workers have left will remain silent for some time, even after restoration of the situation, as those working behind the scenes for its prosperity will be missing.
Interestingly, most members of the media who were involved in this discourse were well-established media personalities and by acting irresponsibly, they have caused damage to society and the nation, rather than assisted the migrating masses. The economy in villages would also be adversely impacted as their income was fuelled by inflow from these migrants. On the virus front, a vast movement from cities could result in its spread into regions which were till date unaffected.
