Indore (Madhya Pradesh): In yet another heartbreaking tale amidst the migrant exodus resulting due to the ongoing lockdown, a man in Madhya Pradesh's Indore was seen pulling a cart himself with the help of a bull.
In the heartbreaking pictures from Indore's bypass area, a man can be seen pulling a cart along with a bull, with his family sitting behind.
Rahul, a native of Mhow in Madhya Pradesh originally owned two bulls that pulled his cart. However, with no means of income during the lockdown, he was forced to sell off one of the bulls in order to feed his family.
If that was not enough, Rahul had to sell the bull only for a third of its price. While the bull would have got him at least Rs 15,000 during normal circumstances, Rahul had no other choice but to sell off the animal for a measly Rs 5,000 as he was desperate to feed his family.

Frustrated with the continuous extensions of the lockdown, Rahul then decided to leave for his ancestral village.
However, with one bullock less, he decided to himself pull the cart with his family sitting at the back.
Though the nationwide lockdown was enforced in order to arrest the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, unfortunately, it has given rise to a human crisis, with migrants stuck without a job away from home.
As a result, alarming levels of desperation have been seen among migrants across the nation over the past few days.
