Ever since the country went into a lockdown on March 25 to contain the spread of novel coronavirus, Papla Ram, 44, a mine labourer in Jodhpur’s Balesar, has been out of work. "I am at home since March and there is no other work I can do. All my savings are exhausted now,” says Papla, who, otherwise, would have 20 days’ work every month, and for eight months a year. When he worked, he comfortably made something between Rs 6,000 and Rs 7,000. “I have a family of seven and it has become difficult for us to sustain with no wages."
