About this work
The life of a salt pan worker is harsh especially at a daily wage of few hundred rupees. Marakkanam in Tamil Nadu, India has many salt pans where they produce sea salt by drying up sea water that is pumped into pans. The industry is facing a number of problems recently and many workers now prefer to do daily labor in construction industry instead of working in highly saline conditions for a considerable number of hours every day.
