#HeadlineTherapy Indian migrant workers hit by cooking gas shortages are leaving cities

Thanks to Abhishek Dey (Delhi) and BBC News for the Headline.

The precarious living that migrant workers from India who moved into the big cities for work.

Their hope was to raise money and support their families from the villages they were born and raised in, but with the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz it is very difficult for them to afford or even find the cooking gas they rely on to run their small tea making and street food businesses. Let alone be able to cook for themselves. Thus they are having to return home as they cannot support themselves and will be unable to support their families. They have no option to return home.

It seems such a sharp contrast to the “American Dream” where if you work hard and make an effort to achieve things then you will be rewarded. However, I hope things stabilise and the “migrant street traders” can return and continue running their enterprises in the hope of a better life for their families.
