00:00In search of a job, labourers have been looking for a job on the streets of Lahore.
00:08Sidra Ghayas' report.
00:11Labourers are celebrating International Labour Day in Lahore.
00:14But these labourers are still waiting for their labourers.
00:19It is said that the International Labour Day of a labourer is celebrated on his birthday.
00:25For us, International Labour Day is for the rich.
00:28We came here at 7 in the morning.
00:30No one is coming now.
00:35Sitting on the side of the road, labourers are looking for a job from morning to evening.
00:41And if it is not a holiday in the evening, they are helplessly forced to go home.
00:47It is International Labour Day.
00:49They will eat to their heart's content and make their children happy.
00:52It is International Labour Day for the government.
00:55Because the workers can take a holiday.
00:58And it is International Labour Day for the labourers.
01:01After the inflation, the difficulties have increased.
01:05According to the labourers, even after many days, it does not feel like a holiday.
01:10I could have studied, I could have studied.
01:13Everything was good.
01:14But this is the situation of our country.
01:17They have forced people to study.
01:21They have forced people to eat only bread.
01:23Sitting on the side of the road, these labourers are waiting for the government to pay them a visit.
01:28So that they can spend time with their children.

02:02The 15-year-old son is the only member of his family.
