&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This article comes from a study undertaken as part of a Centre for New Economic Studies (CNES) Visual Storyboard Initiative. The three-part photo essay on this storyboard can be accessed through the following links (&lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Part%201%281%29.pdf&quot;&gt;Part I&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Part%202%281%29.pdf&quot;&gt;Part II&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Part%203.pdf&quot;&gt;Part III&lt;/a&gt;) and all video essays uploaded can be found in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQpCbrhDCDCKm0N-AnzkpA/playlists&quot;&gt;playlist here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Over the last two months, our team from the Centre for New Economics Studies (CNES) undertook a field project with the objective to visually document and archive the lives and daily work lifestyles of some of the most vulnerable migrant workers living in the Wazirpur-Badli JJ camp area of New Delhi. In the course of the project, our team came across some absorbing insights about the area.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The area of the Wazirpur-Badli JJ camp, despite being placed within the national capital region (NCR) and in an industrial corridor, has been ignored by the state in providing access to basic amenities and social and economic protection for those who work there under precarious circumstances with difficult living conditions. Here, we highlight the lived experiences of those working in the dark, hazardous steel factory workshops in Wazirpur.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Wazirpur is one of 29 industrial areas spread across Delhi-NCR. Twenty years ago, this land was barren with hardly any inhabitants, even from Delhi itself. Now, the same place is overrun with hundreds of small-scale factories which have attracted thousands of low-income migrant workers, usually from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Bengal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Scattered amongst Wazirpur&amp;rsquo;s workshops and factories are the jhuggis (slums) which the workers call home. While many of the area&amp;rsquo;s newer workers prefer to stay in the jhuggis temporarily, for periods of six to eight months when industrial activity is at its peak, others, mostly the older migrant workers, have lived with their families in the slums for over a decade.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This article comes from a study undertaken as part of a Centre for New Economic Studies (CNES) Visual Storyboard Initiative. The three-part photo essay on this storyboard can be accessed through the following links (&lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Part%201%281%29.pdf&quot;&gt;Part I&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Part%202%281%29.pdf&quot;&gt;Part II&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Part%203.pdf&quot;&gt;Part III&lt;/a&gt;) and all video essays uploaded can be found in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQpCbrhDCDCKm0N-AnzkpA/playlists&quot;&gt;playlist here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Over the last two months, our team from the Centre for New Economics Studies (CNES) undertook a field project with the objective to visually document and archive the lives and daily work lifestyles of some of the most vulnerable migrant workers living in the Wazirpur-Badli JJ camp area of New Delhi. In the course of the project, our team came across some absorbing insights about the area.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The area of the Wazirpur-Badli JJ camp, despite being placed within the national capital region (NCR) and in an industrial corridor, has been ignored by the state in providing access to basic amenities and social and economic protection for those who work there under precarious circumstances with difficult living conditions. Here, we highlight the lived experiences of those working in the dark, hazardous steel factory workshops in Wazirpur.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This article comes from a study undertaken as part of a Centre for New Economic Studies (CNES) Visual Storyboard Initiative. The three-part photo essay on this storyboard can be accessed through the following links (&lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Part%201%281%29.pdf&quot;&gt;Part I&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Part%202%281%29.pdf&quot;&gt;Part II&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Part%203.pdf&quot;&gt;Part III&lt;/a&gt;) and all video essays uploaded can be found in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQpCbrhDCDCKm0N-AnzkpA/playlists&quot;&gt;playlist here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Over the last two months, our team from the Centre for New Economics Studies (CNES) undertook a field project with the objective to visually document and archive the lives and daily work lifestyles of some of the most vulnerable migrant workers living in the Wazirpur-Badli JJ camp area of New Delhi. In the course of the project, our team came across some absorbing insights about the area.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The area of the Wazirpur-Badli JJ camp, despite being placed within the national capital region (NCR) and in an industrial corridor, has been ignored by the state in providing access to basic amenities and social and economic protection for those who work there under precarious circumstances with difficult living conditions. Here, we highlight the lived experiences of those working in the dark, hazardous steel factory workshops in Wazirpur.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Wazirpur is one of 29 industrial areas spread across Delhi-NCR. Twenty years ago, this land was barren with hardly any inhabitants, even from Delhi itself. Now, the same place is overrun with hundreds of small-scale factories which have attracted thousands of low-income migrant workers, usually from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Bengal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Scattered amongst Wazirpur&amp;rsquo;s workshops and factories are the jhuggis (slums) which the workers call home. While many of the area&amp;rsquo;s newer workers prefer to stay in the jhuggis temporarily, for periods of six to eight months when industrial activity is at its peak, others, mostly the older migrant workers, have lived with their families in the slums for over a decade.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Pressed in Steel: A Tale of Migrant Factory Workers in NCR’s Wazirpur and Badli Areas -Deepanshu Mohan, Jignesh Mistry, Apremeya Sudarshan and Tavleen Kaur

-TheWire.in Promises made are hardly kept and the responsibility to maintain basic public amenities such as toilets, sewage and clean water facilities falls on the slum-dwellers themselves. This article comes from a study undertaken as part of a Centre for New Economic Studies (CNES) Visual Storyboard Initiative. The three-part photo essay on this storyboard can be accessed through the following links (Part I; Part II; Part III) and all video essays uploaded can be found in a playlist here. Over the last two months, our team from the Centre for New Economics Studies (CNES) undertook a field project with the objective to visually document and archive the lives and daily work lifestyles of some of the most vulnerable migrant workers living in the Wazirpur-Badli JJ camp area of New Delhi. In the course of the project, our team came across some absorbing insights about the area.  The area of the Wazirpur-Badli JJ camp, despite being placed within the national capital region (NCR) and in an industrial corridor, has been ignored by the state in providing access to basic amenities and social and economic protection for those who work there under precarious circumstances with difficult living conditions. Here, we highlight the lived experiences of those working in the dark, hazardous steel factory workshops in Wazirpur. Wazirpur is one of 29 industrial areas spread across Delhi-NCR. Twenty years ago, this land was barren with hardly any inhabitants, even from Delhi itself. Now, the same place is overrun with hundreds of small-scale factories which have attracted thousands of low-income migrant workers, usually from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Bengal.  Scattered amongst Wazirpur’s workshops and factories are the jhuggis (slums) which the workers call home. While many of the area’s newer workers prefer to stay in the jhuggis temporarily, for periods of six to eight months when industrial activity is at its peak, others, mostly the older migrant workers, have lived with their families in the slums for over a decade.  Please click here to read more.
