My sisters study via online classes, I'll resume mine after schools reopen."

"My mother is a school bus attendant but schools are closed so we're facing financial crunch. I make tea at a shop in Bhendi Bazaar & sell it in Nagpada, Bhendi Bazaar & other areas. I don't have a shop. I earn Rs 300-400 in a day. I give it to my mother and save a little," says Subhan.
