According to the workers, the company doesn't give an off. Employees work for Seven days a week,  365 days a year until the employee resigns. 

" The working condition is poor. Nothing to run for help in case of emergencies, " 

" The wages we get at these stations is very little. We cannot even say that we are working but only pushing days forward, " one of the employees said.
