Yet another traumatic story of dinar dreams turning sour came to light on Thursday as 13 men from Telangana were abandoned by their employers leaving them without food and water in Saudi Arabia. The climate was too hot and frequent dust storm made the lives of these abandoned workers even more miserable. These unskilled workers -most of them dropped out of schools- were told by the brokers that they can return home after two years. All of them are pleading with Telangana and the Central governments to help them return to India at the earliest. Chandrashekhar and other workers said a person called Jaleel claiming to be representative of Indian Government had approached them a week ago.
