1,000 Indian workers in Bahrain still unpaid after a year
Dubai, Aug 27 (PTI) As many as 1,000 Indian workers, who lost their jobs after a Bahrain-based garment factory closed down last year, are yet to be paid their dues.
Around 1,400 workers, including 250 Bahraini women, were left in the lurch after the financial collapse of the Light Style Garment Factory in Salmabad on May 14 last year.
Indian workers claim they have not got wages of up to BD1,000 (approx Rs 1.23 lakh)as promised to them by the firm.
According to the workers, only around 350 of them have received work permits for new jobs at different companies.
