Summary, etc. "A larrice of bodies packed themselves in the train while a sundry arm here or a sundry limb there dangled from the doors and windows of the train as it chugged off the station. Which train is it? Farakka Express, though locals of Malda Town callit the Labour Train. It goes to Delhi. Every day thousands of labourers go to places like Delhi, Mumbai, Haryana, Kerala from various parts of West Bengal. Sometimes they return. at times, their dead bodies or even worse, only the news of their death arrives. During the Lockdown, these people have been given a new identity-Migrant Labour. Their lives are now part of the breaking news or headlines. Labour Train is all about these people and their lives before and after they turned to headlines."-- Back cover
