According to the @HemantSorenJMM govt, 74% of the 20,040 currently jailed inmates are undertrials. Most of them are Adivasis, Dalits, backwards or elderly. Even though the ruling parties had promised action on releasing undertrials in their manifesto, it is yet to happen.

Displaced 5 yrs ago from Charan Khad slum,#Dharamsala (after it was declared #smartcity) this community, amidst the lockdown, was cleaning, collecting the town's waste. Their demand for shelter is still unmet @India_NHRC @CMOFFICEHP @NCSC_GoI @HLRN_India https://t.co/OrD7FyJaW7

Our 4th report "No Country for Workers" on #migrantworker distress during the #COVIDSecondWave and local lockdowns in India is out

In the face of denial and continued neglect, read this as an audit of the state's response by 8000+ workers themselves

इस साल जब दूसरी लहर की चपेट में देश का मध्यम वर्ग है तो आखिर मजदूरों का क्या होगा? #Himachal #Migrantworkers #migrantlivesmatter https://t.co/vA9JzTs11y

[hp-workers-solidarity @HpWorkers]

The #secondwaveofcovid19 is a tsunami & those on the surface, gasping for air, are not the working class. So where & how are they? Volunteers of #HimachalPradesh Workers' solidarity group recount #migrantworkers struggles from the 2020 lockdown. https://t.co/mNWc1Pf1PG

[Stranded Workers Action Network(SWAN) @StrandedWorkers]

With or without lockdown announcements #migrantworkers distress is on the rise again.

Building too many dams in the Himalayas has lead to this. Prayers for the people of Chamoli. Please contact Disaster Operations Center number 1070 or 9557444486 for help. #Uttarakhand

[hp-workers-solidarity @HpWorkers]

In the entire propaganda blitz, no one is speaking about the #workers who worked day and night to construct the #RohtangTunnel. There were nearly 3,000 workers who were engaged from Odisha, Jharkhand, Nepal, Bihar and Himachal Pradesh.
