Carpenter leaves Mysuru with heavy heart

Mysuru: Labhuram, a carpenter, was in tears when he left for his home in Barabanki district in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday. Mysuru means a lot for him – for it is the city that that gave him livelihood for three years. A portion of his decent earnings would go to his parents back home. Beleaguered due to the Covid-19 lockdown, he had no option but to return to his homeland. “I have worked at various places since the past few years but I’m leaving Mysuru with a heavy heart,” he said. Similar was the emotion with many passengers of the Shramik Special train to Gorakhpur.
