Rural Laborers Migrate to Cities for Work After Diwali Amidst Local Job Shortages

Many families in villages near Nepanagar are leaving their homes after the Diwali festival.

They are looking for jobs in bigger cities or other states because there isn't enough work available in their own villages.

Even though the government tries to create jobs locally, it's not enough for everyone.

When these families move, their children often have to stop going to school to help their parents work, like picking cotton or making bricks.

Sometimes, people are even forced to work without getting paid, which is very dangerous.

This migration also makes it hard for local farmers to find people to help harvest their crops.
