IndiGo, India’s biggest airline, has agreed to help a migrant laborer and two others fly home from Mumbai after an earlier flight he paid for by selling family livestock was canceled.The workers, from West Bengal, haven’t earned any income since the end of March when Prime Minister Narendra Modi abruptly imposed a nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of the coronavirus. They’d managed to raise 30,600 rupees ($405) for the air tickets, only to be told their flight was canceled and there wouldn’t be any refunds, according to the newspaper. The family of at least one of them raised the money by selling three goats, the newspaper reported.
