An Indian farm labourer, Satnam Singh, succumbed to his injuries in a hospital on Wednesday (June 19) after being abandoned by the roadside with a severed hand, an injury sustained while working on a farm in Latina, Italy, about 50 km from Rome.&nbsp;

Satnam Singh’s arm was reportedly severed during a work accident. Instead of receiving immediate medical attention, he was dumped near his house. This incident has been condemned by Italy’s Labour Minister Marina Calderone as an "act of barbarity."

The Indian Embassy in Italy confirmed Singh’s death and announced the tragic development on its official social media account, stating, "The Embassy is aware of the very unfortunate demise of an Indian national in Latina, Italy. We are in contact with local authorities. Efforts are underway to contact the family and provide consular assistance."

Addressing the Italian parliament, Minister Calderones said, "The Indian agricultural worker who suffered a serious accident in the countryside of Latina and was abandoned in very serious conditions...has died."

Reports indicate that Satnam, approximately 31 years old, was working without legal papers.&nbsp;

He was injured on Monday (June 17) while cutting hay, accidentally severing his arm in a slicing machine.&nbsp;

According to local sources, it was Singh's wife and friends who alerted the police, following which an air ambulance was dispatched to his residence.

The opposition Democratic Party of Italy also criticised the conditions under which Singh was forced to work.

Indian farm worker in Italy dies after employer dumps him on roadside with severed arm

Mariupol is currently going through a tough time, which is filled with horror and confusion. &nbsp;

As the port city in eastern Ukraine is witnessing heaviest bombardment by Russian forces, it is burying its dead in makeshift graves by the roadside. &nbsp;

Several people have either died due to bombing while others have succumbed to ailments, which have been exacerbated by the huge stress in the last few weeks on being unable to get medical help. &nbsp;

Many bodies are still&nbsp;lying covered in dirty blankets in the city. &nbsp;

Although the Ukraine's military has advised people to store the dead bodies in cold basements, these facilities are already filled with people, who are sheltering from Russian shelling. &nbsp;

In the basements, it seems the lack of physical activity, stress and cold are also killing people.

Andrei, a man who was burying dead neighbours in graves on roadside, said, "I hope there will be some sort of a reburial and this is just temporary." &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

Around 400,000 people are trapped in the strategic port city on the Sea of Azov for over two weeks. These residents have little access to food, water, heating or electricity, said local authorities. &nbsp;&nbsp;

On Saturday, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia's siege of Mariupol was "a terror that will be remembered for centuries to come". &nbsp;&nbsp;
