600 Indian labourers building Qatar World Cup stadiums facing tough times

There have been reports that 1,200 migrant workers have died in Qatar and up to 4,000 could perish before the World Cup begins, figures vehemently denied by the Gulf country

More than 600 labourers from India, who are in Qatar for construction work ahead of the 2022 football
World Cup, are living under harsh conditions after being denied salary for six months, Hindustan Times reported on Monday.

They are living in a cramped, dirty and unsafe accommodation, reported Amnesty International. These labourers building stadiums in the Gulf country are often left at the mercy of charitable organisations. 

The workers are having a harrowing experience in the wake of a financial crisis that hit Qatari firm HKH General Contracting Company, which had reportedly employed 1,200 workers for the 2022 World Cup.
