With no immediate resolution to border security and terrorism-related concerns in sight, many of these labourers are believed to be seeking employment in Punjab and Sindh, while others have resorted to borrowing money from family and friends to cover their expenses. They are so financially strained that they have ceased sending their children to school, which adds to their suffering.
