The farm labour crunch has hit harvesting season as migrants are making their way back to their native states again fearing another lockdown in the Tricity. Again, factory owners and farmers are grappling with labour crunch.
The exodus this time is said to be driven by fear of being trapped in place due to another lockdown and panchayat in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
Industrialists are also facing shortage of labour and finding it expensive to hire workers and helpers. Industrialists in Derabassi said they are getting helpers at the cost of skilled labour.
