On Saturday evening, many brick makers gathered at the Moradabad Junction train station in Uttar Pradesh when they decided to leave the city due to a lack of work.

Migrant workers from Kanth and other Tehsils gathered at Moradabad Junction train station to return to their villages as bad weather conditions brought brick kilns to a standstill.

“Because of the rain there is no work here, so they are returning to their hometowns in Bhagalpur, Bihar,” Ashish, a brick kiln owner, told ANI UP.

Photos of the scene posted by ANI UP showed the train station teeming with daily betting without following social distancing norms. Several people did not wear face covers or had their face masks dangled under their noses. Here are some photos showing a huge crowd of workers at Moradabad Railway Station:
