03:16How busy are you? How is the work going? What are you doing?

03:22We are very busy. We have to work for about 21-22 hours in 24 hours.

03:32It is very difficult for the workers too.

03:35We are in the last stages of the season.

03:40How many workers were hired last year?

03:47Last year, we had 300 workers.

03:52But due to the lockdown, we were not able to hire any workers.

04:00So we are in a slight downfall.

04:11we are in a slight shortage of workers.

04:31Some of them are highly educated.

04:34Those who are highly educated can understand better.

04:37Those who are not educated can understand a little slower.

04:40But we are able to do the work even if we are not educated.

04:43But we are able to do the work even if we are not educated.
