Health status of rickshaw pullers in jaipur

Want sleep but there is

no bed.

Want food but this is all

Shelter they have to save their dear ones

Parents wait for treatment but die deprived

And son’s Get old but can’t Retire

Even in so much pain

But still they laugh and say………..

Mai chala wahi jidhar chale rasta
