Falling sales are
making jewellery manufacturers think twice about rehiring migrant artisans
Most of the artisans, or karigars,
who work at jewellery manufacturing hubs in the country hail from West Bengal.
Jewellers are ready to take them to work only if they take half of their
salaries for at least three months till Diwali, when the industry is expecting
sales to pick up. Migrant gold artisans who had returned to their hometowns
during the lockdown now want to go back to their workplaces, but many jewellery
manufacturers are not keen on their return as the business has shrunk
drastically.
