Jharkhand's Labourers stranded in Tajikistan set to return

Migrant workers from Jharkhand who have been stranded in Tajikistan for more than two months will return to their home state, an official said on Tuesday.

In the first phase, he said, 22 of the 35 stranded workers would return, while the rest would return after booking their flights. Communicating with family members through social media, the workers alleged that the company that engages them in laying power lines confiscated their passports and gave them insufficient food and no money at all.

“Twenty-two of the 35 workers stranded in Tajikistan are returning to Jharkhand, while the rest will return after getting tickets,” said an official of the state's migration cell.

Later, the chief minister retweeted a tweet from the state migration cell, which said the Indian embassy in Tajikistan had been contacted for their safe return. They left for the Central Asian country on December 19 last year after the firm's India-based agents promised them a decent salary, officials said.
