Kumar, a construction worker, has finally got his wages after six months. The problem is his contractor gave him a cheque instead of the usual cash. On Friday, he stood in a queue in Nehru Place, trying to get the desperately needed money. He was there with four other visibly tired workers still awaiting their turn despite having joined the queue at 9am.
