Low-income people leaving Dhaka due to Corona
Low-income people are leaving Dhaka unemployed due to the Corona epidemic:
The whole world is infected with Coronavirus. The number of victims is increasing day by day in the country. The fragile state of the world economy has also hit Bangladesh. Many small-scale industries and garments factories have been shut down due to Lack of work. As a result, many ordinary people and workers havebecome unemployed.
In
addition, many companies have reduced their wages, including layoffs, to reduce
overtime. As a result, many families could not stay in the capital for rent and
left Dhaka to return to their villages. Being forced.
Talking to many of these victims who are in dire straits, it is known that the reason for all of them to return to their villages is not an epidemic.
Now
the work of low-income people is completely stopped. You have to rent a house
for a lot of money every month. But now it is almost impossible to make that
much money. So everyone is going back to their village home with their family.
If they are in the village, they do not have to worry at least about the
monthly rent.

Meanwhile,
except for Dhaka in the middle of the year, the education of their children is
also in uncertainty. If you want to go back to the village and get admitted in
any school, you have to wait at least till next year. These children who grew
up in Dhaka are also worried about how much they can adapt to the rural
environment.
