| | For almost three months, since the first phase of India’s lockdown to tackle coronavirus began, 35-year-old Masoom Ansari and eight others were stuck inside a budget hotel situated on Relief road in Ahmedabad where they work.
While the hotel owner gave them some ration, they have not been paid their salaries since March. Seven of them left for their villages in Uttar Pradesh last week, worn out by the sheer effort of getting through each day as provisions ran out.
With no cooking gas left, Ansari and a colleague have been surviving by eating partially cooked rice heated in sunlight. |
