Following the announcement of a new week-long lockdown in New Delhi, tens of thousands of workers crowd Anand Vihar Terminal in east Delhi, waiting to take buses to their home states. Last year's harsh restrictions put millions of poor daily-wagers out of work, with many fleeing cities for their villages -- often on foot with some dying along the way.
