Several truck drivers plying their vehicles have become angels in disguise to migrant workers by stopping to give them lifts on their long journey by foot or cycles. An elderly migrant worker walking to his home, broke down in tears when a truck driver offered him a lift in his vehicle. Several truck drivers, said that through out their journey, they had been helping walking or cycling migrant labourers by offering to transport them.
“It is a common practice among truck drivers to help persons stranded on highways for different reasons. Now, we are only trying to ease the pain of our migrant brethren for some distance on their long and tiring journey,” one of them said.
