Description
Migrant workers engaged in a company involved in export of spices located in the Thumukunta industrial area of Parigi mandal in the district, on Tuesday charged the police with refusing to register a case against the labour contractor, who, they alleged, had attacked and injured them. In a complaint submitted to the District Collector, the workers, hailing from a village under the Nazeerabad Police Station limits in Berasia taluq of Bhopal district, said that 40 families, comprising 42 adults and 33 children, were attacked allegedly by the contractor on the premises of SA Rawther Spices (P) Limited. Speaking to The Hindu , Kamalabai, a worker, said that they had been brought from Madhya Pradesh with the promise of paying a wage of Rs.300 per day per adult by Thimma Reddy, an agent. She said that they had subsequently been handed over to another agent Siva Reddy, who accommodated them on the site of the company itself. “However, we have not been paid wages as promised in the last seven days,” she said. “When asked, Siva Reddy asked us to work for another 10 days and collect wages. When we protested, Siva Reddy and his men attacked us, forcing us to run to a nearby village,” Ms. Kamalabai alleged. “Workers carrying their belongings and children came running to Vittapalli on Monday. We provided them accommodation and food in the government primary school,” said sarpanch Gowtami.
