Job Loss In Kerala Tourism Forces People To Work For Daily Wages | Read

24-year-old Vineeth is a hotel management graduate from Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram. But with the hotel industry severely hit due to the coronavirus pandemic, he now earns a living as a daily wager by cutting trees. He lost his job at a hotel in Kerala's tourist town of Munnar earlier this year. "I have a one-year-old child. I hate doing this sort of work, but I have no other option for now." With ₹ 900 per day, and around 10 days of work in a month, it's far from easy for Vineeth.
