Drought forces Bundelkhand farmers to migrate

H
undreds of farmer families in drought-hit Bundelkhand are being forced to migrate to other parts of the country in search of livelihood.

A bad monsoon and poor irrigation facilities have severely affected the farmers, particularly marginal farmers and landless labourers whose only concern now is the next meal.

Most landless labourers are heading towards the nearest railway station to board either a Delhi or a Bhopal-bound train.
