These people who come from different corners of the country to find means of sustenance in Delhi are given refuge here. This is perhaps the most historical of the characteristics of these buildings. They give employment to all those who may come to them.

Delhi’s Red Fort or the Qila-e-Moalla with a tradition of not letting anyone go empty handed from its gates, has passed through the changing times but still a thousand of people depend upon the mighty structure for their livelihood.
