Hyderabad: Telangana migrant workers, in pursuit of better job opportunities, are shifting away from the traditional Gulf countries to Europe and Russia.
Around 40 per cent of complaints have been received from workers who have illegally entered Europe, reported Times of India (TOI).
Pravasi Mitra Labour Union president Swadesh Paripandla said that most distress calls relate to poor work conditions, low-paying jobs and being unable to leave as their visas are confiscated by the employers.
“Agents” who promise them lucrative jobs take a large sum, in lakhs, for travel, accommodation and others.
I could not take it any longer and somehow made it back home,” said one person who returned after three months.
