Majority of the Vadderas are still manual boulder breakers by occupation

Vadderas are one of the few communities, who work in most hazardous and fatal occupations. Forced to by the society, they remained as the toughest community of hard laborers, breaking boulders for a living. Being so, they have to intoxicate themselves, in order to sleep for a couple of hours. Injuries, ill-health, and lurking fatal accidents are the only things we get to hear about them.
