One labourer was found dead, while 18 others were learnt to be missing after the labourers engaged in a Border Roads Organization (BRO) road construction project along the India-China border in Arunachal Pradesh’s Kurung Kumey district fled the site after they were denied leave for Eid-ul-Adha.
The incident occurred at a strategic construction site of the Damin-Huri road, which is under Arunachal Pradesh’s Kurung Kumey district.
Kurung Kumey Deputy Commissioner Nighee Bengia told reporters that 19 labourers were engaged at the Damin-Huri road construction site, roughly 200 km away from Koloriang, which is the district headquarters.
