In the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, $81 million has been transferred into the bank accounts of over 2.75 million workers.

That’s an average of $29.45 per worker, although it’s unclear how the money will be shared out.

For context, $29.45 is about the equivalent of seven days of minimum daily wages. In India, a flight from New Delhi to Mumbai costs around $70, while a liter (34 fluid ounces) of milk is a little less than $1.

The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, made the announcement at a news conference on Monday. He also spoke with some of the workers via video conference to tell them about the bank transfers.

Adityanath also hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to enforce a 21-day nationwide lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus.

Why workers are getting cash: Last Tuesday, Modi announced that the country was going into lockdown. All shops, factories, offices, markets, religious spaces and construction sites are closed. Only essential services — including hospitals and grocery stories — remain in operation.

But the shutdown has created a problem for India’s migrant workers, with many of them left without a job or pay. Some have attempted to leave India’s major cities. Over the weekend, a 40-year-old migrant worker died as he attempted to walk 179 miles from New Delhi to his hometown, according to police.
