AN EVENT WORTH FOUR THOUSAND LIVES?

(Lakshay Raja)
A nation desperate enough to refine the existing laws for a sporting event, not a game but possibly the only big chance to connect with the west, Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022; promised and shall be presented as one hell of a festive for sure. Have a look at an image before we add some ‘sidelined stories’ spices.
A design presented; the stadium is expected to be built before 2019. Has it ever been for any recent megastructures that more than a thousand people lost their lives completing it? And its still 2015. And there are half a dozen more.
Four hundred thousand Nepalese migrated to Qatar in 2012, signed to work under the conditions (google it), risking themselves for ten long hours each day for ten years and getting paid with less than five pounds. Ignored, revealed finally by ‘The guardian’ (check the website) with the stats of a death per day, tell me, does the image still look beautiful? Seven more years, not the way supposed but the event has become the most awaited one.
