According to Equidem, its research indicates that workers are being forced to work in wet-bulb temperatures exceeding 45C, far surpassing the safe threshold of 32C.
Shikha Bharttacharjee, research director at Equidem, stated, 'We are putting migrants to work in deadly temperatures day in and day out,' highlighting the urgent need for intervention.
Human rights researchers faced significant challenges interviewing workers due to the risk of arrest and detention, revealing the oppressive conditions these migrant laborers endure.
Equidem's findings stress that subjecting workers to extreme heat is not only dangerous but constitutes a form of workplace violence, demanding immediate attention from authorities.
