PEOPLE OF THE BRIDGE

A portrait-series on the down-and-outs living under the Howrah Bridge, which connects the twin cities of Howrah and Calcutta. Most of them show signs of mental illness. Open wounds and acute stomach problems are observed in many of them. A majority of them came to the metropolis in search of jobs, from the  rural ares of East India. When luck deserted them, they took to alcohol and drugs and ended up under the Howrah Bridge, forgotten forever.

This is a work in progress.
