The Quint  

One resident at Tulip Orange said that the person who used to come to clean the dishes at his place left last week. At Paras Irene, another high-rise society in Gurugram, an RWA member said that “thirty people had to be hired suddenly at a significant increase in salary” due to the leaving of Muslim migrants who formed a chunk of the housekeeping staff here too. However, Awinash Jha, the president of Paras Irene RWA said that while there was a shortage of staff and that Muslim staffers did flee after the violence, it was only temporary. The staffs are returning and few have been hired at the same cost to society,” Jha said, in an email response to The Quint on 15 August.
