Lockdown has ended, but not woes of daily wagers

Earlier, they used to get work six days a week. But now, they get a maximum of four days of work in a week

  Early in the morning, lines of men and women holding steaming cups of tea can be seen at N.R. Circle in Hassan. Hoping to be hired for work, around 500 people congregate at the spot, craning their necks to see if any contractor can be seen in the horizon. Over the last few days, the overnight downpour followed by early morning drizzle has left them disappointed. They have learnt from their experience that rainy days seldom bring work. Most of them are from Hassan and nearby villages.
