Pradeep Kumar Chauhan said that the brick kiln business stopped due to the lockdown caused by the corona virus infection. His employer fed them for a few days, but later he also raised his hands. Money earned is also now on the verge of getting finished. In such a situation, due to the strictness of the lock down, they were not able to get even the necessary goods. We were worried to return to home as soon as possible.
