Overworked ahlmads in Delhi courts face extreme stress

Ahlmads are people who keep court records in Delhi.

They have a very tough job because there are too many cases and not enough helpers.

One ahlmad, Harish Singh Mahar, was so stressed that he sadly took his own life.

The ahlmads have to handle thousands of cases every day, answer many questions, and work very long hours.

They also have to prepare reports and answer questions from the public.

There are many empty jobs that need to be filled, but they aren't.

This makes the ahlmads' job even harder.

One ahlmad said she has nightmares about files and would quit if she had a pension.

The number of cases has been going up, but the number of helpers has stayed the same.
