Migrant Workers in West Bengal Continue to Seek Employment Opportunities Despite Tragic Train Accident

Following the tragic accident involving the Coromandel Express that claimed 288 lives and left hundreds injured, the dreams of several individuals have been derailed. However, migrant workers in West Bengal express their determination to seek employment opportunities outside their native state due to limited job prospects.

One such worker, Abbasuddin Sheikh, bid farewell to his family in Uttar Chousuttibari village, Kakdwip, as he embarked on a train journey from Kolkata to Chennai. Like many others, Abbasuddin left with the hope of returning after six months and supporting his family financially. Unfortunately, he was among the missing individuals after the accident, as he had no reservation on the train and traveled in the overcrowded general compartment.

This incident sheds light on the migration patterns observed in districts with low development in West Bengal, such as North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, Uttar Dinajpur, Malda, and Murshidabad. These regions have become popular among individuals seeking work in states like Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Kerala, primarily as construction or agricultural laborers.

The decision to migrate is often driven by the lack of job opportunities, diminishing returns from agriculture, and the ecological challenges faced in their hometowns. Rising sea levels in the Sundarbans region, for instance, have led to submergence of lands, compelling residents to seek employment elsewhere. Despite the risks and hardships associated with migration, the allure of stable income and better prospects continues to drive workers from West Bengal to other states.
