'My husband is a big transporter and our monthly income lies 3-5 lakhs per month. This lockdown has shattered our lifestyle worst. The inter city transport was closed for more than 2 months and now even ease down the income is not satisfactory. We had to pay the bank lease and other liabilities too with the fees of three kids which mounts 1 lakh per month from a reputed school.

I believe we'll readmit our kids in any big school, when we'll have full pockets again,' Mr. Lodhi told his story.
