Like the assault on migrant labourers from Jharsuguda district in Vizianagaram last year, a labourer from Komna of Nuapada district was allegedly attacked brutally by middlemen in Nagpur in Maharashtra a few days back.
The matter came to light after family members of the labourer from Tikirapada village under the Komna
police station lodged a complaint on Saturday.
According to the complaint, the middlemen cut five toes and three fingers of the labourer Chamara Pharia when he asked for his wage. Then the accused threw him at the Nuapada railway station.
The victim, who was found lying helplessly in the railway station, was rescued by the railway police and admitted in a hospital.
Pharia along with two other labourers had been taken to Nagpur by two middlemen in July.
In December last year, several migrant labourers of Sundargarh district were allegedly attacked by their employer in Vizianagaram of Andhra Pradesh when they asked for their wages. Even the employer threw acid at one of them and cut another’s finger.
