As the survivors of the blast near Red Fort try to piece back their lives, a fortnight since their lives were upturned, they struggle to sustain themselves due to loss of jobs and livelihoods and no government support.
While the blast killed at least 14 people, it left more than 20 people injured.
In a one room kitchen rented house in Noida, Bhawani Shankar (34) racks his brain to think of all possible ways he could stop the deduction of an upcoming EMI of ₹18,400 on December 10, 2025. The outstanding EMI is for a four wheeler he had purchased 10 months back whose whereabouts he does not know.

“I bought the vehicle so that after paying platform fees for Uber and Ola, I could at least take home ₹20,000 to ₹30,000 a month without having to give a cut to a renter,” says Shankar. However, with no vehicle and still being in a cast for his burn injuries, he added the lack of government financial support is stinging him.
