Declarations
:
: The authors declared that they did not have any conflict of interest. Availability of data and material: data will be provided upon request.
: As this study is about the socio-economic implications, it is why Ethical clearance was not taken. In Pakistan, the ethical clearance body (National Bioethics Committee) issues clearance numbers to basic sciences experiments oftenly, containing human or animal tissues, etc. However, authors and enumerators have taken verbal consent from the study participants before the conductance of the survey. The verbal consent of all the respondents was taken. Participants were briefed that their data would only be used for the study purpose and they agreed to give the required information.
