(Source: Express Photo/Amit Mehra)Half-finished Ravana effigies, wrapped in sarees and khaki paper, line the pavements of Najafgarh Road in west Delhi’s Titarpur. However, as part of its anti-encroachment drive last week, the South Delhi Municipal Corporation confiscated the effigies this year. While skilled artisans earn up to Rs 35,000 in two months, workers get around Rs 8,000-Rs 10,000.
