Life of Poor Labor in Covid Era

This is the story of a poor labor man Fazlu who had come to town with his whole family to find work and earn money. His whole family spent their days working hard and laborious. He was one of those people who had to work daily to earn money, he could not manage to get food until he went out on the streets to work. They were getting to eat by facing a lot of struggle every day.

After the hard laborious work of the day, he slept at the footpath. One day when he was going out for his work, he saw that the road was deserted. There were no vehicles on the road and no man could be seen to the farthest distance. After moving a little ahead Fazlu watches and suddenly he gets hit by a stick. He gets terrified and turns around quickly and he sees that a policeman is beating him with the stick.

Sir oh Sir please wait! requested by Fazlu

Why are you hitting me, sir?

the policeman replied with anger!

You're crazy fellow, Where are you wandering, get lost from here, don't you know we are under lockdown. The whole nation is on curfew, if I see you again you will be beaten badly.

But Sir what is this lockdown and why is everything closed? asked by Fazlu

The policy man replied,

Oh, you crazy man! Which world are you living in? There is a big pandemic named Corona spreading everywhere, if you go out of your home you may get this disease and die run and get lost from here. God knows where do such crazy people come from while saying so he again struck on his back with a stick poor fazlu terrified, ran, and reached home.

Then his family asked he told them that some pandemic is spreading due to which the nation is closed and we can't go to the streets then fazlu's son said but dad if we do not go out and sell something then how will we get food .fazlu replied to Son, My dear son but there is no one in the streets to whom we could sell. There are no people in the streets even to give arms. If this continues we will die starving.

Poor fazlu begins to worry about what he can do now. Two days had passed and his family is suffering badly with hunger his kids started to cry in hunger .fazlu could not bear the grief of his family but he was so helpless that he could not do anything, he doesn't even have money to buy a ration of two days for home and when he went out he could not even see a single man who could give him any work unable to see his grieving family.

At last, he dares to go out even after being beaten by the police. Fazluc omes to know that the government is distributing rawshian for the poor so fazlu goes there but there he finds out that only those who have a link with politicians are being given Russian.

How can poor fazlu who doesn't even have a home could afford to buy eatables for his children disappointed fazlu returns from there, then he comes to know that food is being distributed to the poor at some government school after arriving there? Somehow he saw a long queue of people. People are standing in the queue with food boxes and bags in their hands under extreme heat billy also stands behind them. The queue is so long that it takes him five to six hours to get his turn. It's 3 pm, he is standing in the queue barefooted in extreme heat in the hope of getting some food and can feed his starving children.

when his turn comes he gets to know that there was a huge crowd and while his turn came the food was over. The poor fazlu's heart sank down. He sadly returns to his family while walking over the road he again gets caught by the same policeman and the policeman says oh you crazy man can't you understand from the first warning why are you roaming on the roads.

 Sir Sir ! said fazlu, you do one thing it's better that you kill me. Sir my family is starving from past two three days my children are squirming out of hunger leave the food for eating. We even do not have water to drink. Sir, this pandemic will kill us or not I don't know sir but this hunger will kill us. I can't see my family dying so it's better that you kill me, sir.

Fazlu starts crying loudly after saying this.

The policeman feels pity for him and he gives him his food and some other items and sends him to his family.

My dear friend's poverty is a problem in our country and this corona pandemic has come to not in our country but all over the world, and due to this lockdown the poor are not even getting two meals a day leave food, they do not even have a house to live friends lockdown is not equal for everyone. If possible try to help all those people who are under problem as much as possible from your side.

Allah helps those who help others. BYSAHK!
