Qatar “cannot be allowed to hide the truth any longer,” an ITUC spokesperson told the Star yesterday, after World Cup organisers confirmed that another migrant worker died on a 2022 stadium site last week.
Forty-eight-year-old Indian man Jaleshwar Prasad died after he “fell ill on-site around 9.30am on Wednesday,” said a statement released at the weekend.
“The Qatar authorities were quick to announce that the tragic death of Jaleshwar Prasad was not due to his working conditions, despite the absence of any proper investigation into why he died at work,” said an ITUC spokesperson.
