Centre rescues ten Indian workers stranded in Dubai

The workers reached New Delhi on Tuesday night and met Union Ministers Dharmendra Pradhan and Pratap Chandra Sarangi on Wednesday...  they were not paid for months and their food was also rationed. “We were denied salary, proper food and even medicines by three Afghan brothers who were our supervisors at the construction site,” said 31-year-old Madan Sahoo... [who] was promised a salary of 1,200 dirhams per month... [Worker Ghuman Moharana] said, “We first went to the police in Dubai, but they refused to help. They directed us to the labour court. But four of five visits later we realised no lawyer would represent people as poor as us.”
