Telangana rains: Over 35,000 jobs lost

HYDERABAD: After wading through waist-deep water, Ajit Yadav returned to his workplace, a food processing unit at Cherlapally, after three days on Sunday. But upon unlocking the door, he found his workplace in ruins. Worse, he was out of job because his employer said it would take months to set things in order.

"I have several mouths to feed but now with many units shut due to floods, I am at a loss," said



Yadav, who migrated from Jharkhand looking for work.

Ajit`s story is one of many , as over 35,000 daily-wage labourers have lost their livelihood with rains lashing the city recently , sources said. With over 10,000 small units along the low-lying industrial belt of Quthbullapur, Dulapally , Jeedimetla, Cherlapally, Kukatpally and Balanagar, completely ruined following the heavy rains, the fate of many daily wagers remains uncertain
