My name is Buddha Ram. I am a mine worker. I worked in the mines for 15 years. I have fallen I’ll don’t work right now. Please give me some work through government. I had applied at silicosis portal through emitra near KN Chest hospital. The Emitra person asked for Rs 50,000- 60,000. I told him I don’t have money to buy flour for me and I have come to the hospital by lending money from someone. I told him that I will give him money when I get the Silicosis compensation. He told that he will take half of the money now and rest half when I get the compensation. I returned home. There was no food. My mother is old. I have young brothers. They don’t earn. I lend money to fulfill my day to day needs.

Earlier I could walk 15- 20 steps and do little work by taking 2 – 3 times rest in netween. Now I become breathless even walking few steps. I cough.
My mother earns Rs 50 – rs 60 and we survive on that. My wife left me. My mother takes care of my medications
