The Rahul Tarun Mitra Mandal Association on Friday distributed food to over 250 migrant workers living under a flyover in Mumbai amid coronavirus lockdown.

"I came in search of work. We sleep here and get food like this (through distribution). I request the government to help us," a worker said.

The worker further requested the state government to move them to a shelter home.
