Dumka: Even as 26 workers stranded in Nepal are on their way back to the district with the state government’s help, 16 other migrant labourers, stranded in Karnataka, have contacted the Dumka district administration seeking its help for their return.
Deputy commissioner Rajeshwari B said all 16 workers hailed from Masaliya block of the district.
Two days ago, 26 labourers, who were stranded in Nepal, had uploaded a video on social media requesting the district administration to facilitate their return as neither their employer nor the Nepal government is helping them. The state government promptly responded and after coordinating with authorities concerned, sent a bus to the Nepal border to bring them back. They are now on their return journey. Sources said five of them are infected.
