Labourers returning to temporary shelter, after the work of dragging &

collection of natural Salt

At creek side, after collection of natural salt, it is arranged in the

form of the heap. Workers start covering the heap when monsoon

arrives. (see the 3rd heap)

From distance, salt allover the channels look, like snow.

These Salt workers drag the (natural) salt, take aside & make a heap

of it (see Background). Through-out the day, they are literally in the

SALT with out any protection to the foot. Burning and irritation is

maximum in the afternoon. This may create longtime problem to foot but

for these poor people current hunger problem is prime. But what about

their contractor?

Thanks Rashed! Your words have encouraged me.

At the time of high-tide, Creek Water is allowed to spread through

channels...stored...after 4-5 days water evaporates...Salt

remains...Salt is dragged, taken aside and then arranged in the form

of heap (see at back). Heaps are covered at the time of monsoon.
