Welcome back to another episode of Where The Chasm Is Bridged, a podcast by Behind The Scenes.

In this episode, we look at another aspect of Dignity of Labor through the lens of migrant workers. In conversation with Mr. Jignesh Mistry, we follow his journey through India, as we discover the circumstances of the migrant workers. Mr. Jignesh Mistry is a freelance photojournalist, who has been working in the field for over 11 years. Sir started his career as a nightshift news photographer at a daily tabloid during his graduation. Since then, his work has been published at multiple magazines, wire agencies and national newspapers. He is also involved in taking photography workshops for students in academic institutions. He has been engaged with the PAIGAM network and is a regular contributor at The Wire, The Press Trust of India and other international Wire Agencies. He has also been working with the Center for New Economic Studies as a Senior Research Analyst.

Many migrant workers throughout India had the desire to return home from their place of work, in order to ensure their families safety. Sir highlights the plight of the laborers and explains how they were left to fend for themselves when they lost their livelihood. Without adequate help from the government or NGO's (due to restrictions by State Governments), they were forced to take extreme measures to reach home.
