He said long shifts harm both physical and mental health. On social media, he described how 12-hour workdays, long commutes, hurried meals, and limited sleep have become normal for industry workers.</p>
<p data-start="563" data-end="841">Mehta highlighted the struggles of daily wagers, who are the most affected. He wrote that these workers arrive first, leave last, and survive under harsh conditions that would be unacceptable elsewhere. He questioned whether an industry could thrive by draining its workforce.</p>
