HyderabadTelangana, May 9: A 25-year-old woman from Hyderabad who went to Saudi Arabia to work as a “house maid” was allegedly tortured to death, as she succumbed to her injuries while undergoing treatment at the King Saud hospital for chest diseases in Saudi Arabia.

The family members of Asima Khatoon were informed about the death on Thursday when an unknown person called her mother from Riyadh and informed that Asima was dead.

Asima, a resident of Shah Colony in Dabeerpura, had left for Riyadh in December 2015 on a business visa since the government had stopped issuing “house maid” visas about two years ago. ?The visa was procured through an agent.

After the expiry of her visa which was valid for 90 days, she was illegally kept in confinement in Riyadh, reports ANI.

Though there was no information from her since her departure, she telephoned home about two months ago informing the family about the instances of torture at the hands of her employer, Abdul Rahman Ali Mohammed.

She told her mother that she was being harassed mentally and physically and requested her family to make arrangements for her return at any cost.

The police is presently investigating the case.

Bengaluru, Jul 13: In an attempt to avoid the ugly scene of migrant workers walking to their native places due to the current week-long lockdown imposed in the state, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) is running 1,600 additional buses on Monday and Tuesday to help them return safely.

The KSRTC has already run 249 additional buses from the State capital and has so far ferried 6,641 passengers and 231 buses have been booked.

The KSRTC appealed to the public not to panic as additional buses have been deployed. "After ensuring social distance and conducting thermal screening, passengers will be allowed to travel. It has already been planned to operate additional buses," the corporation stated in a press release here.

Mangaluru, May 8: Migrant workers, stranded in Karnataka due to lockdown, staged a protest on Friday at the Central Railway Station here, demanding to be sent back to their respective native places.

The workers demanded the state government to take measures and send them back to their homes.

Maintaining social distancing and covering their faces with masks, the workers were holding placards which read -- "We want to go home Jharkhand, We want justice and we want to go home."

They appealed to the state government to arrange trains and buses to ferry them to their native places and threatened to walk home if denied transport.

Several protests have erupted in different parts of the country, such as Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, as stranded labourers took to the roads demanding to be sent back home.

The Ministry of Home Affairs on May 1 had issued an order to extend the ongoing lockdown by two more weeks from May 4 with some relaxations.
