Violence flared near the IIT Hyderabad campus in Telangana on Wednesday as hundreds of migrant workers employed at a construction site near the engineering college demanded salaries and permission to go home.The workers attacked the officials of the construction company who had come to request them to resume the work and the police who arrived later to pacify them, throwing stones and vandalising vehicles. At least one police officer was injured.Around 2,600 workers – many from states like Bihar and Madhya Pradesh – complain that though they have been housed in facilities near the campus and receiving food, they have not received salaries for nearly two months as work was stopped amid the COVID-19 lockdown.
