DUBAI: The families of the seven Indian workers who were killed in last week's accident at a bridge construction site in Dubai will get 20 years' salary — double the compensation announced earlier.
The Wade Adams Contracting Company Monday announced that the next of kin of each of the deceased would get 20 years' salary as compensation instead of 10 years as announced earlier.
"Our company has decided to give 20 years' salary — their lifetime salary — to their (the workers') families. We don't want them to suffer," N M Naushad, human resources director of Wade Adams, told IANS.
He said that, as an interim measure, the company has decided to give 20,000 dirhams ($5,400) to the next of kin of each of those killed.
