Mohammad Shahid has just returned from his village in Uttar Pradesh, months after the lockdown was brought into place. Many migrants from Bihar and UP are now returning to a crunched source of work, income and livelihood in Mumbai. These zari workers do intricate and delicate embroidery work at a small scale unit in Dharavi. The nationwide lockdown brought this industry to a grinding halt shutting down most factories. While India celebrates a relative victory against the COVID19 pandemic, a new financial pandemic had reared its head, threatening to plunge many into poverty.
