Description
Over 450 Indian migrants employed in Qatar have died in the last two years, data accessed by a Right To Information request has revealed, even as the Gulf state faces tremendous pressure to prove its rights record before it hosts the 2022 FIFA World Cup. In response to the RTI query, the Indian embassy in Qatar provided figures for the number of deaths in 2012 and the first 11 months of 2013. On average about 20 Indian migrants died per month, peaking at 27 in August last year. There were 237 fatalities reported in 2012 and another 218 up to December 5, 2013.
