Answer 1

Answer:

These labourers at labour chowk are daily wages who work as helpers to masons.

Most of them on a casual basis i.e they are required to come as and when the employer needs them.

They cannot afford permanent accommodation so sleep on pavements near the chowk.

Shopkeepers works as bank for them and also keep their tools for the night for sleeping.

Their daily earning is not sure. Their economic position is unbalanced.
