India calls for stronger protections for its overseas workers
NEW DELHI -- Binu Nayar spent part of the past two decades talking to his brother, Murlidhar Nayar, by phone, listening to him describe the overcrowded living conditions he endured in Kuwait so he could remain employed and feed his family back home.
Murlidhar was a senior supervisor for NBTC Group, a Kuwaiti construction company run by an Indian from the southern coastal state of Kerala. He shared a two-bedroom flat with nine other workers.
