India hosted Common Wealth Games in 2010 in Delhi. For almost two years before the CWG, the city turned into a huge construction site since a lot of infrastructure projects were going on in the city for the upcoming games.
Infrastructure development around the games attracted around 5 to 6 lacks migrant workers to Delhi from various states of India, where it was difficult for them to earn living. Most of these workers were bonded laborers alien to the city and vulnerable at the mercy of the contractors ended up being a victim of violence against human rights. the exploitation cycle started at the villages from where these workers were picked and continued in the city in form of minimum wages were not paid, timing of work was dependent on contractors wish, substandard living, no security procedures followed which ended up taking lives of many workers. All this development was carried out by the state which became one of the biggest corruption scam in the history.
