Covid-19 and the associated lockdowns devastated the world's population and poor migrant workers were hit the hardest. The lockdown announcement suspended their income as all economic activities were halted. Kerala, one of the favourite destinations of India's domestic migrants, had to deal with their problems. With a holistic and humanitarian approach, the state arranged relief camps and food kits for its guest workers. This study explored the lives of migrant workers in Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of Kerala, during and after the lockdown. Quantitatively and qualitatively interviewed 50 migrant workers were selected through snowball sampling, subscribing to a mixed method. Statistical analysis of quantitative data and thematic analysis of qualitative data revealed migrant workers' plight. By summarising the quantitative and qualitative results, this study confirmed the financial, physical and psychological struggles that the pandemic imposed on migrant workers.
