New Delhi (Sputnik): Feeling left alone to fend for themselves in India's closed metropolises, many internal migrant workers who have found themselves without jobs, money, or even a place to stay have had to return on foot to their hometowns and loved ones, sometimes traversing hundreds of kilometres.

In Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s native state of Gujarat, some agitated migrant labourers have taken to the streets and damaged vehicles after their alleged demands to be transported to their home communities went unheard in the state capital Surat.

Videos show a large crowd gathered on the streets breaking the lockdown rules, and police using tear gas to disperse the crowd and control the situation.
