Mumbai, May 12 (IANS): In a unique tribute to the plight of stranded migrants around the country, the India Post Mumbai will release a special post cover dedicated to them, an official said here on Tuesday.

The Special FDC - which features the migrants working in Mumbai's jewellery sector and Bollywood, as construction labourers and cabbies - will be released by five migrant workers, who represent 'the hands that built Mumbai'.

With the nationwide lockdown in its third phase, the migrant workers, stuck helplessly in different parts of the country are perhaps the most poignant victims of the circumstances arising out of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic, said Swati Pandey, Postmaster General, Mumbai Region.

"These migrant workers, coming from the remotest parts of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal have been immensely contributing in building the city of Mumbai," said Pandey.

They have been aiding to make the lives of Mumbaikars smooth and seamless, whether it be the taxi drivers, the construction labourers, the crew of technical help in Bollywood or the designers in Zaveri Bazar, the country's dazzling jewellery hub in south Mumbai, she added.

Chief Postmaster General, Maharashtra & Goa Harish Chandra Agrawal and other dignitaries will attend the release of the Special FDC on Wednesday at the historic Mumbai General Post Office (GPO) Building, near the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus.

India Post Mumbai has 229 post offices, besides a wide array of services including e-commerce, serving the country's commercial capital.
