Del: Hordes of migrants take dangerous trek home

National Highway 9 is the scene of the great escape. Men, women and children are marching on its wide lanes from the capital to Bareilly (281km away), Lucknow (500km), Bahraich (650km) and even villages in Bihar over a thousand kilometres from Delhi. Lugging bags, carrying tots and dragging infants, the people are trudging along like characters in a post-apocalyptic movie. But the hunger, fear, tiredness, helplessness and uncertainty are real enough.
