Description
The large scale devastation caused by cyclone Phailin in Odisha’s Ganjam district is expected to trigger ‘distress migration’ of hordes of affected people to faraway places like Chennai, Mumbai, Goa, Surat and Ahmadabad. Experts on migration and activists working on the ground have warned that distress migration is imminent from Ganjam which traditionally sends half a million migrant labourers to Gujarat cities like Surat and Ahmadabad every year.
