&lt;em&gt;Thousands of workers, mostly migrants, have been going hungry because of what they call &amp;quot;environmental injustice.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Outside a small room in Wazirpur industrial area, Kameshwar Paswan, dressed in a white vest and red &amp;lsquo;gamcha&amp;rsquo; is on the phone. His face is tense as he listens. &amp;ldquo;Don&amp;rsquo;t worry, I&amp;rsquo;ll arrange for it soon,&amp;rdquo; he says, and hangs up. He had stepped out to take a call from his son in Ara, Bihar. &amp;ldquo;He needs to buy exam forms and books to prepare for competition [government exams],&amp;rdquo; he says.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Paswan, a father of five, works at a steel melting furnace in the area. He is one of the thousands of workers staring at a loss of livelihood because of factories being &amp;lsquo;sealed&amp;rsquo; as a measure to curb air pollution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Informal workers in such factories across Delhi earn anywhere between Rs. 7,000 &amp;ndash; 10,000 every month, much below minimum wages and barely enough to manage household expenses. Now, they are in danger of losing even these meagre earnings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sealing of factories &amp;ndash; the latest in a series of moves to curb pollution&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the 2016 National Green Tribunal (NGT) order to shut down industrial units in &amp;lsquo;non-conforming&amp;rsquo; areas i.e. not in industrial areas earmarked for that purpose, the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) recently identified 51,837 units that need to be closed or relocated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Delhi&amp;rsquo;s air quality worsened, several factories were sealed across the city in the last three weeks. Over 90 were sealed just in Wazirpur, adversely affecting the city&amp;rsquo;s poorest workers. The situation in Wazirpur is indicative of the plight of unorganised workers across Delhi. A 2014 study of pollution &amp;lsquo;hotspots&amp;rsquo; in Delhi by the NGO Toxic Link, had identified Wazirpur as one of the &amp;lsquo;dirtiest&amp;rsquo; in the city.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Thousands of workers, mostly migrants, have been going hungry because of what they call &amp;quot;environmental injustice.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Outside a small room in Wazirpur industrial area, Kameshwar Paswan, dressed in a white vest and red &amp;lsquo;gamcha&amp;rsquo; is on the phone. His face is tense as he listens. &amp;ldquo;Don&amp;rsquo;t worry, I&amp;rsquo;ll arrange for it soon,&amp;rdquo; he says, and hangs up. He had stepped out to take a call from his son in Ara, Bihar. &amp;ldquo;He needs to buy exam forms and books to prepare for competition [government exams],&amp;rdquo; he says.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Paswan, a father of five, works at a steel melting furnace in the area. He is one of the thousands of workers staring at a loss of livelihood because of factories being &amp;lsquo;sealed&amp;rsquo; as a measure to curb air pollution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Informal workers in such factories across Delhi earn anywhere between Rs. 7,000 &amp;ndash; 10,000 every month, much below minimum wages and barely enough to manage household expenses. Now, they are in danger of losing even these meagre earnings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sealing of factories &amp;ndash; the latest in a series of moves to curb pollution&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the 2016 National Green Tribunal (NGT) order to shut down industrial units in &amp;lsquo;non-conforming&amp;rsquo; areas i.e. not in industrial areas earmarked for that purpose, the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) recently identified 51,837 units that need to be closed or relocated.&lt;br /&gt;

New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Outside a small room in Wazirpur industrial area, Kameshwar Paswan, dressed in a white vest and red &amp;lsquo;gamcha&amp;rsquo; is on the phone. His face is tense as he listens. &amp;ldquo;Don&amp;rsquo;t worry, I&amp;rsquo;ll arrange for it soon,&amp;rdquo; he says, and hangs up. He had stepped out to take a call from his son in Ara, Bihar. &amp;ldquo;He needs to buy exam forms and books to prepare for competition [government exams],&amp;rdquo; he says.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Paswan, a father of five, works at a steel melting furnace in the area. He is one of the thousands of workers staring at a loss of livelihood because of factories being &amp;lsquo;sealed&amp;rsquo; as a measure to curb air pollution.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sealing of factories &amp;ndash; the latest in a series of moves to curb pollution&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the 2016 National Green Tribunal (NGT) order to shut down industrial units in &amp;lsquo;non-conforming&amp;rsquo; areas i.e. not in industrial areas earmarked for that purpose, the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) recently identified 51,837 units that need to be closed or relocated.&lt;br /&gt;

The Human Cost of Delhi's Quick-Fix Pollution Control Measures -Akhil Kumar

-TheWire.in Thousands of workers, mostly migrants, have been going hungry because of what they call "environmental injustice." New Delhi: Outside a small room in Wazirpur industrial area, Kameshwar Paswan, dressed in a white vest and red ‘gamcha’ is on the phone. His face is tense as he listens. “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for it soon,” he says, and hangs up. He had stepped out to take a call from his son in Ara, Bihar. “He needs to buy exam forms and books to prepare for competition [government exams],” he says. Paswan, a father of five, works at a steel melting furnace in the area. He is one of the thousands of workers staring at a loss of livelihood because of factories being ‘sealed’ as a measure to curb air pollution. Informal workers in such factories across Delhi earn anywhere between Rs. 7,000 – 10,000 every month, much below minimum wages and barely enough to manage household expenses. Now, they are in danger of losing even these meagre earnings. Sealing of factories – the latest in a series of moves to curb pollution          After the 2016 National Green Tribunal (NGT) order to shut down industrial units in ‘non-conforming’ areas i.e. not in industrial areas earmarked for that purpose, the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) recently identified 51,837 units that need to be closed or relocated. As Delhi’s air quality worsened, several factories were sealed across the city in the last three weeks. Over 90 were sealed just in Wazirpur, adversely affecting the city’s poorest workers. The situation in Wazirpur is indicative of the plight of unorganised workers across Delhi. A 2014 study of pollution ‘hotspots’ in Delhi by the NGO Toxic Link, had identified Wazirpur as one of the ‘dirtiest’ in the city. Please click here to read more.
