Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
About 26 migrant workers from Odisha, who were allegedly forced to work in Telangana, appealed to the state officials through a video shared on Whatsapp, to rescue them. According to the workers, they were made to work with no pay for two months and threatened with starvation by the brick kiln owner, who had hired them in Telangana's Sircilla district. The workers managed to release video footage explaining their plight via Whatsapp on Sunday, which came to the attention of Telangana Labour Department. As of Monday, officials had initiated their rescue from the brick kiln.
