I was among 15,000 people who lost their jobs in the auto-parts industry recently. I am the sole bread winner of my family of seven. But now, as the government has decided to reduce the age limit of imported used cars and the auto-vendor industry is back to its normal operations, I have been rehired.

I am grateful to the government for taking a positive step that has resulted in the restoration of fired workers.

There are many like me who got their jobs back because my organisation which produces auto parts for car manufacturers has orders once again from them.
