Corporation move to improve conditions in labour camps [India]

Parts of the Attipra ward bordering the Technopark campus are facing an epidemic outbreak owing to unhygienic conditions in the labour camps housing migrant workers involved in the construction of new buildings for software companies. Hundreds of migrant families...are packed into rows of closely-stacked tin shacks...The colonies lack even basic sanitation facilities...When contacted, Technopark Business Development Manager M. Vasudevan told The Hindu that the...work contractors had been directed to clean up the ground and provide better facilities for the labourers. He said the issue would be taken up with Tata Consultancy Services, for whom the buildings were being constructed.
