Both factory workers and owners are feeling the brunt of first demonetisation and then the COVID-19 lockdowns, and believe the government is ignoring them.

Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh): Tahir Khan is a 35-year-old lock worker in Aligarh. He is among the thousands of workers bearing the brunt of COVID-19 lockdowns and what they call government apathy towards workers.

He is currently employed under Saud Aijaz, whose family has been running a small-scale lock factory operation over four decades in Eidgah.

Tahir has been a daily-wage worker since he was 15. He now lives in a house that Saud provided because of difficulties faced during the lockdown.

He works in a precarious setup without safety precautions, where serious injuries are common. His shift also involves intensive work for at least ten hours a day.

The staircase to Tahir’s house leads to a two-room structure with dilapidated walls. A big machine used for lock fittings in placed just near the door.
