Indian laborer dies in Italy (symbolic photo)
An Indian laborer has died a painful death in Italy. The matter of the laborer’s painful death has been raised even in the Italian Parliament. The shocking thing is that when the Indian laborer’s hand got cut in an accident while working in the fields, instead of getting him treated, the farm owner threw it outside the house like garbage. Farm laborer Satnam Singh was injured while working in a field in Latina, south of Rome. After his hand was cut, he kept writhing in pain but no one helped him and eventually he died. Latina is home to thousands of Indian migrant workers.
what did the labor minister say
“An Indian agricultural worker has died after suffering a serious accident in the countryside of Latina and was abandoned in very serious conditions… he has died,” Italy’s Labour Minister Marina Calderone told parliament. “It was a barbaric act, the authorities are investigating and we hope that those responsible will be punished,” she said.
Indian Embassy condemned
The Indian Embassy in Italy has condemned the incident and expressed grief over the death of Satnam. The Indian Embassy said that it is working closely with local officials and trying to reach Satnam’s family. Giving information about Satnam’s death on social media, the Indian Embassy wrote that the Embassy is aware of the unfortunate death of an Indian citizen in Latina, Italy. We are in touch with the local authorities. Efforts are on to contact the family and provide consular assistance.
what did the police say
Police said they were called by Singh’s wife and friends and an air ambulance was dispatched. “He was taken to a hospital in Rome but died nearby,” a police spokesman in Latina told AFP. The centre-left Democratic Party condemned Satnam’s treatment as a “defeat of civilisation” in a region known for worker exploitation.
The matter is being investigated
The Flai CGIL trade union (an Italian organization for workers in the agricultural and food industry) said Satnam was injured while working in the fields. Authorities are investigating the case and hope that those responsible for the incident will be punished. According to information, Satnam Singh was 30 or 31 years old and was working without legal documents. While he was cutting grass, his hand was cut by a machine.
