A daily wage worker at Suvarna Soudha in Belagavi has lost her job for drying papad on the steps of the structure.
Mallavva of Kondaskoppa village was employed by a contractor on daily wage basis to cut grass in front of Suvarna Soudha. On Tuesday, she spread a bedsheet on the steps of the Legislature building and put out papads to dry, as she worked on the lawn.
This was noticed by some commuters on the National Highway who took pictures. The pictures were shared widely on social media with comments like “At least now someone found a way to utilise the mammoth building”, and “The best use of Suvarna Soudha since it was constructed’”.
