    Very sad.I found so many workers from UP Bihar etc come here to work on daily wages and loose their life ,and noone is taking responsibility for their death either or to compansate their family.He was so young.Does his family know atleast?Their family is left alone with sorrows.Heartfelt sympathies to his family.May his soul rest in peace.Would be nice if Govt could help such families.
