Those are leather shops and double up as homes of workers. The shutters on his shops on 90-Feet Road in Dharavi, Leather Touch and Zaraa. Have not been opened since mid-March when the Maharashtra government enforced. A shutdown in Mumbai almost 10 days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the nationwide lockdown.
