Teacher on footpath: Loans to repay, kids to feed

Vivek Bhatia sits near the Sultanpuri railway crossing and sells clothes to make a living. Bhatia is a teacher in a North Delhi Municipal Corporation-run primary school, but with the civic body unable to pay the salaries of teachers for several months now, the desperate 37-year-old had to set up a roadside stall to put some money in his wallet. Bhatia has loans to repay and the school fees of his children to pay. Worried to the extreme, and finding no other way, Bhatia took to his new avocation 52 days back.
