Nagpur: In the late 50s, Anil Sharma (name changed) had spent his life working as a salesman at the garment shop.
Now hired at the outlet in Sitabuldi, he is quickly open, says how he has exemplified the corpus funds Provident (PF) and must guarantee wife ornaments after running out of funds, because of locking.
“When I asked for help during the first lock, my employer was rejected.
I have to resign from the PF account.
Disappointed, I also left work.
The outlet that works with me is now not covered by PF because the number of workers is below 20,” he said.
Tii shop workers met said they had begun to get full salary in just the last two months.
Increasing limitations can bring difficult times, they said.
Their income ranges from IDR 15,000 to RS16,000 a month.
Traders, on the other hand, questioned the logic behind having the sidewalk if the number of Covid cases just rises slightly.
After the number of new Covid cases have turned into two digits, the Minister of Guardian District Nitin Raut implies restrictions.
When TII toured the market, employees at retail outlets said they were the worst.
Paid badly, their salary goes further because of restrictions.
They say there are limitations even on timings.
Shops must be allowed to open on weekends.
“If the shops are closed on Saturdays and Sundays, the wages for two days are cut.
This is a straight loss of RS2,000, which is too much for someone who produces Rs15,000 to RS16,000,” Sharma said, as agreed others.
“I have to manage by selling vegetables during locking,” said other workers, also did not want to be named.
Toi finds shops see a quiet look.
“That’s because of the pattern,” said the merchant.
“If other days, you will hardly get a place to stand up,” said workers in the parking lot.
Even with fewer customers, a little compliance with the corresponding behavior of Covid is seen in these places.
Each Trader Toi meets claiming all their staff has been fully vaccinated.
“What is the Nagpur population? If around 10 to 15 people are positive Covid, whether it really guarantees the sidewalk,” said Ved Prakash Jaiswal from the Vedom shop in Dharampeth.
Amit Jain from the Milton Store across the street has the same view as saying restrictions on timings will only increase the crowds.
BC Bhartia, National President of the Confederation of All Indian Traders (CAIT), said shops and companies should not be chosen in the name of the sidewalk.
Restrictions must apply to all including political meetings.
