Theguardian·
Workers involved in constructing a large Hindu temple in New Jersey are alleging severe mistreatment, including visa fraud and medical neglect. Several workers claim to have developed incurable lung diseases due to inhaling silica dust during the construction process, with reports of two deaths. These allegations point to potentially hazardous working conditions and a lack of adequate safety measures at the site. The situation highlights critical issues surrounding labor rights and worker safety in large-scale construction projects.
