Laborers’ death at Games village
While we were sitting at Satyagraha to protest the construction on river bed, we received complaints from laborers working inside the Games village construction site that a large number of laborers are dying mysteriously and the contractors not doing anything to stop it. It was found that the living conditions for the laborers were unhygienic. This forced us to pursue the issue with the authorities and in a month’s time the results showed.
