&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The Delhi government&amp;rsquo;s decision to hike minimum wages by almost 40% gave hope to thousands struggling to make ends meet. But two months later, little has changed on the ground &amp;mdash; be it for the saleswoman supporting her family, or the factory worker doing overtime. Sarah Hafeez investigates. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Vinay, a 32-year-old bus driver, was both surprised and thrilled to hear that his colleague, a conductor hired by a private contractor on the Lajpat Nagar-bound orange bus, was paid Rs 14,700 in April &amp;mdash; Rs 4,000 more than the previous month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But his happiness was short-lived. None of the drivers employed by the eight private concessionaires operating under the Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS) &amp;mdash; a public-private partnership under the Delhi government&amp;rsquo;s transport department &amp;mdash; were paid the new minimum wages mandated by a legislation that came into effect in March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As per the legislation, the minimum wage was revised to Rs 9,724-13,350 per month for unskilled workers, Rs 10,764-14,698 for semi-skilled workers, and Rs 11,830-16,182 for skilled workers &amp;mdash; a 37 per cent increase. However, The Indian Express found that its benefits are yet to reach those it is meant for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This prompted Vinay and his colleagues to go on a strike last month, keeping 1,700 orange, low-floor buses under the DIMTS off the roads. The Delhi government ultimately stepped in, promising to cover the increase in wages by paying Rs 1.5 crore a month on behalf of the eight private concessionaires who refused to pay increased salaries. But since no deadline has been specified, drivers said they plan to move court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Our salaries go up every year but by Rs 500 or less. Expenses keep increasing. How do I make ends meet?&amp;rdquo; said Vinay, who works overtime so he can make Rs 20,000 a month.&lt;br /&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-The Indian Express&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Delhi government&amp;rsquo;s decision to hike minimum wages by almost 40% gave hope to thousands struggling to make ends meet. But two months later, little has changed on the ground &amp;mdash; be it for the saleswoman supporting her family, or the factory worker doing overtime. Sarah Hafeez investigates. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vinay, a 32-year-old bus driver, was both surprised and thrilled to hear that his colleague, a conductor hired by a private contractor on the Lajpat Nagar-bound orange bus, was paid Rs 14,700 in April &amp;mdash; Rs 4,000 more than the previous month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But his happiness was short-lived. None of the drivers employed by the eight private concessionaires operating under the Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS) &amp;mdash; a public-private partnership under the Delhi government&amp;rsquo;s transport department &amp;mdash; were paid the new minimum wages mandated by a legislation that came into effect in March.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As per the legislation, the minimum wage was revised to Rs 9,724-13,350 per month for unskilled workers, Rs 10,764-14,698 for semi-skilled workers, and Rs 11,830-16,182 for skilled workers &amp;mdash; a 37 per cent increase. However, The Indian Express found that its benefits are yet to reach those it is meant for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This prompted Vinay and his colleagues to go on a strike last month, keeping 1,700 orange, low-floor buses under the DIMTS off the roads. The Delhi government ultimately stepped in, promising to cover the increase in wages by paying Rs 1.5 crore a month on behalf of the eight private concessionaires who refused to pay increased salaries. But since no deadline has been specified, drivers said they plan to move court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Our salaries go up every year but by Rs 500 or less. Expenses keep increasing. How do I make ends meet?&amp;rdquo; said Vinay, who works overtime so he can make Rs 20,000 a month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://indianexpress.com/article/india/delhi/a-life-below-the-bottom-line-delhi-government-minimum-wages-4689218/&quot; title=&quot;http://indianexpress.com/article/india/delhi/a-life-below-the-bottom-line-delhi-government-minimum-wages-4689218/&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The Delhi government&amp;rsquo;s decision to hike minimum wages by almost 40% gave hope to thousands struggling to make ends meet. But two months later, little has changed on the ground &amp;mdash; be it for the saleswoman supporting her family, or the factory worker doing overtime. Sarah Hafeez investigates. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Vinay, a 32-year-old bus driver, was both surprised and thrilled to hear that his colleague, a conductor hired by a private contractor on the Lajpat Nagar-bound orange bus, was paid Rs 14,700 in April &amp;mdash; Rs 4,000 more than the previous month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But his happiness was short-lived. None of the drivers employed by the eight private concessionaires operating under the Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS) &amp;mdash; a public-private partnership under the Delhi government&amp;rsquo;s transport department &amp;mdash; were paid the new minimum wages mandated by a legislation that came into effect in March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As per the legislation, the minimum wage was revised to Rs 9,724-13,350 per month for unskilled workers, Rs 10,764-14,698 for semi-skilled workers, and Rs 11,830-16,182 for skilled workers &amp;mdash; a 37 per cent increase. However, The Indian Express found that its benefits are yet to reach those it is meant for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This prompted Vinay and his colleagues to go on a strike last month, keeping 1,700 orange, low-floor buses under the DIMTS off the roads. The Delhi government ultimately stepped in, promising to cover the increase in wages by paying Rs 1.5 crore a month on behalf of the eight private concessionaires who refused to pay increased salaries. But since no deadline has been specified, drivers said they plan to move court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Our salaries go up every year but by Rs 500 or less. Expenses keep increasing. How do I make ends meet?&amp;rdquo; said Vinay, who works overtime so he can make Rs 20,000 a month.&lt;br /&gt;

Vinay, a 32-year-old bus driver, was both surprised and thrilled to hear that his colleague, a conductor hired by a private contractor on the Lajpat Nagar-bound orange bus, was paid Rs 14,700 in April &mdash; Rs 4,000 more than the previous month.<br />
<br />
But his happiness was short-lived. None of the drivers employed by the eight private concessionaires operating under the Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS) &mdash; a public-private partnership under the Delhi government&rsquo;s transport department &mdash; were paid the new minimum wages mandated by a legislation that came into effect in March.<br />
<br />
As per the legislation, the minimum wage was revised to Rs 9,724-13,350 per month for unskilled workers, Rs 10,764-14,698 for semi-skilled workers, and Rs 11,830-16,182 for skilled workers &mdash; a 37 per cent increase. However, The Indian Express found that its benefits are yet to reach those it is meant for.<br />
<br />
This prompted Vinay and his colleagues to go on a strike last month, keeping 1,700 orange, low-floor buses under the DIMTS off the roads. The Delhi government ultimately stepped in, promising to cover the increase in wages by paying Rs 1.5 crore a month on behalf of the eight private concessionaires who refused to pay increased salaries. But since no deadline has been specified, drivers said they plan to move court.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Our salaries go up every year but by Rs 500 or less. Expenses keep increasing. How do I make ends meet?&rdquo; said Vinay, who works overtime so he can make Rs 20,000 a month.<br />

A life below the bottom line -Sarah Hafeez

-The Indian Express The Delhi government’s decision to hike minimum wages by almost 40% gave hope to thousands struggling to make ends meet. But two months later, little has changed on the ground — be it for the saleswoman supporting her family, or the factory worker doing overtime. Sarah Hafeez investigates. Vinay, a 32-year-old bus driver, was both surprised and thrilled to hear that his colleague, a conductor hired by a private contractor on the Lajpat Nagar-bound orange bus, was paid Rs 14,700 in April — Rs 4,000 more than the previous month. But his happiness was short-lived. None of the drivers employed by the eight private concessionaires operating under the Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS) — a public-private partnership under the Delhi government’s transport department — were paid the new minimum wages mandated by a legislation that came into effect in March. As per the legislation, the minimum wage was revised to Rs 9,724-13,350 per month for unskilled workers, Rs 10,764-14,698 for semi-skilled workers, and Rs 11,830-16,182 for skilled workers — a 37 per cent increase. However, The Indian Express found that its benefits are yet to reach those it is meant for.

The Delhi government ultimately stepped in, promising to cover the increase in wages by paying Rs 1.5 crore a month on behalf of the eight private concessionaires who refused to pay increased salaries. But since no deadline has been specified, drivers said they plan to move court. “Our salaries go up every year but by Rs 500 or less. Expenses keep increasing. How do I make ends meet?” said Vinay, who works overtime so he can make Rs 20,000 a month. Please click here to read more.
