Drought Turns Nanded's Farmers Into Labourers In Thane, Mumbai

Subhash Kohar, 40, has found work at a construction site. Clearing up rubble all day will fetch him Rs. 400. He says he's lucky that he's got work for the second straight day. Leaving his five acre farm as well as his young children behind in Nanded district of drought-hit Marathwada, Mr Kohar is among those farmers who have migrated to cities like Mumbai and Thane in search of work. Some of them are here with their families. A local politician has provided them shelter to stay in at Thane.
