BEHIND A tall black iron gate on plot X-57 in Southeast Delhi’s Okhla Industrial Area stands a seemingly ordinary three-storey commercial build-ing. The basement houses a curtain warehouse, while the first floor is occupied by a women’s garment stitching and embroidery unit run by the building owner. The second floor remains vacant.But for four years, trucks laden with cartons of chips, soft drinks and fruit juices arrived almost daily at the ground-floor unit.
“They never allowed us in-side, sald a worker at a nearby factory who had known marry of the unit’s employees for years. They would only say if was packaging work and that the goods were being sent abroad to countries like the United States, Canada, Austra lia and New Zealand.”
