New Delhi: On February 24, during his visit to Prayagraj to attend the Kumbh Mela, Prime Minister Narendra Modi washed the feet of five sanitation workers and hailed them as ‘karma yogis’.
A team of videographers from Rough Cut Productions traced those workers and asked them about their experience and their ambitions.
