Echoing similar sentiments, Manoj, another e-rickshaw driver, said "I am the sole breadwinner of my family of four. If I am sitting at home how will I earn money? Had it been a matter of 10-12 days we would have managed but it has been 2 months now. Everyone is sitting at home, so how can I ask for help from anyone?"

The lockdown was first announced on March 24 which got extended twice and is now slated to end on May 17.
