Visakhapatnam: Association for Urban and Tribal Development (AUTD) distributed 1,000 food packets to the migrant workers who have been set out on foot from Visakhapatnam.
The migrant workers, engaged at NTPC, rice millers at Atchutapuram and other areas, were heading to Odisha, Jharkhand and Bihar. Some of them were reached out to Anakapalle-Anandapuram junction stretch.
Human Rights Forum AP and TS coordination committee member V.S. Krishna, members of HRF, students and employees chipped in to extend support to the migrant workers by mobilising funds to the tune of Rs.1 lakh for the workers' food and refreshments.
AUTD contributed to the cause by cooking and packing the food from the shelter kitchen with the help of the inmates, AUTD secretary Vasu Pragada said.
He said migrant workers complained of the government's negligence in providing them transport facility to reach their native places. They also alleged that the companies they were working for grossly neglected them during the lockdown period.
