Farm worker dies in hot conditions in Italy: 54-year-old Indian labourer Dalveer Singh has died due to extreme heat and heavy workload in central Italy. Dalveer Singh was a resident of Punjab. He used to send money to his family regularly. He intended to return to India in the next few years, because as he grew older, it became difficult for him to work in the fields.
Second Indian laborer died in last three months
His son and son-in-law are now trying to bring back his body. In the last three months, another Indian worker has died in the fields of Italy. Earlier, a worker named Satnam Singh was injured and his employer fled leaving him bleeding, due to which he died.

Dalveer Singh's colleagues told the Guardian that he was never ill and was a very kind person. He was always ready to work hard. Singh died on 16 August. An autopsy report is expected next month. Local prosecutors are continuing to investigate Singh's death, including whether his employer had taken appropriate measures under Italian law to protect him from extreme heat.
