Portrait of a bus passenger from Sankoo, Kargil, India.

 

He was a laborer who stayed at Kargil and went to work in the smaller villages around Kargil. The summer months see a boom in construction activity in these areas which are snow clad in winter. These laborers come from the poorer states in India, mostly from Jharkhand.

 

Every morning a bus popularly nicknamed "laborer bus" leaves Kargil early in the morning to drop these laborers to their respective workplaces.
