Haryana violence: Economic activity slows as Gurugram battles exodus of workers

Hindustan Times  

Residents in Gurugram have begun reaching out to district authorities after people working from them, mostly from the Muslim community, left their homes for their hometowns or refused to step out following threats of reprisal attacks from right-wing Hindu groups in the aftermath of the communal violence in Muslim-majority Nuh. Hundreds of migrant workers from at least six Gurugram neighbourhoods left the city after they were threatened by right-wing groups, people in these areas said, prompting resident welfare associations and traders’ group to complain of lack of essential staff. Residents in high-rises close to slum clusters said their domestic helps, car cleaners, cooks, security guards and drivers did not report to work since Tuesday, citing the threat to their lives. DC Yadav said he visited slum areas in Sohna, Sector 58 and sector 70 where he met several groups of people who complained of panic. Gurugram police commissioner Kala Ramachandran said they have deployed forces at all areas near slums for the safety and security of migrant workers.
