Delhi Construction Ban Hits Daily Wage Workers | 'No Work for 15 Days'

This special report highlights the severe impact of the Delhi government's construction ban on daily wage labourers in the Patparganj area. Implemented to curb rising pollution in the National Capital, the ban has left many workers unemployed for over two weeks. An unidentified reporter observes labourers gathering at the local chowk with their equipment, only to return home empty-handed. A labourer named Rajkumar reveals the financial distress, stating, 'We haven't got any work for 15 days.' He explains that while they previously earned 500-600 rupees daily, they now face hunger and pressure from landlords for rent. Another worker laments, 'My children are crying... It's been a month. There is no work.' The report underscores the desperate situation of migrant workers who are struggling to survive without income amidst the anti-pollution measures.
