Unravelling Pune’s COVID-19 Migrant Crisis: History Speaks
To make sense of migration in Pune, it may be pertinent to ask basic questions: such as, who are Pune’s ‘migrants’? Why are their lives in the city so precarious? Why is a city of constantly shifting populations and boundaries becoming more difficult for some migrants to navigate? And more importantly, how do we make this city, and others across the country, accessible and livable for shifting migrant populations?
Such a detailed treatise on the subject. This should hopefully make the job of the Government much easier to understand the issue and address concerns raised. Best wishes to the authors and hats off to them for their effort! Wonderful work.
