NEW DELHI - When Mohammed Faisal Khan perished in a fire that killed 43 workers sleeping in a small factory in New Delhi on Sunday his parents back in the impoverished eastern state of Bihar lost their eldest son and the family’s sole breadwinner.
“My husband is too unwell to work and my son was our only hope. We’re completely shattered,” Rubina Khatoon, his mother, told Reuters by telephone from the family home. “My son would have only two meals a day to save money and send 3,500-4,000 rupees to us every month. He would hardly keep 500-1,000 rupees for his day-to-day expenses,” she recounted.
