Meena Bazaar

Cots Dept: So it takes a while to realize there are nearly 100 people in the square of dirt on the edge of the cotton-sellers district in the Indian capital. All are asleep in handmade wooden cots jammed one against the other. Dozens more people sleep around a battered empty fountain nearby, according to The Star. PHOTOS: Inside Meena Bazaar Park No. 2 parking lot NEW DELHI There is almost no movement in the pre-dawn cold, when the winter fog sits low over the old city and the only light comes from distant street lamps. The parking lot is silent, except for the occasional hacking cough. In a few hours, workers will haul away the cots and Meena Bazaar Park No. 2 will fill with cars. By 9 a.m. the overnight community will have disappeared. Its residents will carry their meagre possessions in plastic shopping bags until nightfall, when the lot once again will turn into a makeshift outdoor motel. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
