A „labour chowk“ is a gathering place for daily wage labourers. It’s a location, often a specific street corner or intersection, where they congregate to be hired for various manual tasks on a day-to-day basis. These labourers are typically seeking employment opportunities in construction, loading/unloading, or other forms of physical work. The term „chowk“ itself means a marketplace or a main street in Hindi
