” My money is pending for 7 months. On the issue of money, these people are making us work for two days at a time for the last 7 months. But they are not paying the money. Now we don’t even have money to run the house. I owe 40 lakh from the builder.”
Harun Ali, a labourer
” I owed lakhs of rupees from builder. On demanding money, these people tell them next Friday or the next day. But this payment has not been made for the last 6 months. It is the Diwali festival, but the workers do not have money to run the house.”
Rakesh, A labourer
“These people staged a protest earlier also, but no hearing took place. Many workers are not able to fulfil even the basic needs of the house. I have been working here since the year 2019. The child is ill at home, but there is no money for treatment.”
