My name is Rehan, I have been driving an auto for 7-8 years. I live in Okhla, Delhi.
Every year it gets hot, but this year it's even worse. I have to work, no matter what, whether it's heat or anything else, I can't leave work. I have to endure all the difficulties. We stay outside in the heat for 9-10 hours.
Working in the heat, we sweat a lot, and our clothes get dirty too. Our health also deteriorates, my friends have had fever and cough. We face a lot of challenges.
When the heat gets too much, sometimes we stop for 15-20 minutes on the side to get some rest, then we have to start driving again with passengers.
I have nothing more to say, except that this year the heat has increased a lot.
