Mitha Bai, 60, was stranded at Kolegar, 15 kms away from her home in Aurangabad, when the lockdown started. On her way back, she met a group of migrant labourers who said they were headed to Aurangabad, so Mitha Bai, a daily wage labourer, joined them.

However, she did not know that the group of migrant labourers was headed to Aurangabad in Bihar. She ended up 1,400 kms away in Bihar and while looking for her home she reached Jharkhand’s Latehar.
