ISLAMABAD:
The twin cities are home to thousands of skilled and unskilled workers who trek down from regions like Swat, North Waziristan and Peshawar in search of finding better employment opportunities. Many among them are children, who like their parents, must also contribute to the family income if they are to break bread at day end.
Left with little option, many of these youths find themselves on busy thoroughfares, often running from traffic signal to traffic signal; trying to sell anything ranging from garlands to sanitary products to moving cars.
