Description
Ponni Raji opens her shop on a pavement at Sholinganallur intersection every Sunday at 7 a.m. Ms. Ponni is among the several hawkers who open their pavement shops and sell used clothes along Rajiv Gandhi Salai – Information Technology Corridor every Sunday. Their customers are mostly migrants from other States who are engaged in various construction sites along the IT Corridor. “Including overtime wages, I earn Rs. 12,000 a month. My family is back home and I cannot afford to spend on new clothes,” says Harka Bahadur, a native of Tinsukhia District, Assam. Harka has been working in the city for nearly 10 years and is now employed at Sithalapakkam.
