Why does this keep happening to our workers abroad? We need better protection mechanisms for Indians working overseas. Thoughts and prayers with the families.

As someone from Nizamabad, this hits close to home. Srinivas was just trying to earn a living for his family. When will our people stop being victims of such violence?

The ministers' responses are comforting, but we need long-term solutions. Maybe mandatory safety training for workers going abroad? This tragedy shouldn't repeat.
