What happened
The article argues that workers who keep a city functioning are often treated as invisible. It focuses on people who cycle to work and those who collect and sort waste, saying they are not absent from the city but excluded from recognition, infrastructure, and dignity.
Background and earlier position
Earlier reporting reportedly framed the issue as one of locating such workers. The article says field interviews showed the opposite: these workers are visible every day at busy intersections and road junctions, especially in Delhi, but their presence is not valued by city systems.
