Meltdown trickles down

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
In an indicator of how the shock from Wall Street is travelling to the heart of rural India, thousands of skilled workers in two small towns, one in Uttar Pradesh and one in Haryana, have been laid off after orders from their global markets — mostly in the US and Europe — dried up this month.

In Moradabad, 167 km from Delhi, artisans adept at the centuries-old art of crafting brassware for European and American showrooms are pulling cycle rickshaws and selling fruit as trade unions report a loss of 25,000 jobs.

And this is just the beginning of summer. Large areas in west, south-west, north, north-west and outer Delhi have not received water supply since last week.

The staff of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), which supplies drinking water to the city, also got a taste of the anger over the weekend. Residents of south-west Delhi gathered at a DJB complaint centre on Saturday and heckled the staff for failing to supply water tankers despite logging their complaints.
