Singh had succumbed on a Wednesday in June after suffering grave injuries earlier that week. His arm was severed in the accident, and reports said he was later abandoned near his residence instead of being given immediate medical help.

At the time, the Embassy had stated that it was in touch with local authorities and working to reach Singh's family.

In a post shared on X, the mission had written, "The Embassy is deeply saddened by the unfortunate demise of an Indian national in Latina, Italy. We are actively liaising with local authorities. Our immediate priority is to contact the family and offer necessary consular support.

"Singh's death had drawn wider attention as he was injured while working on a farm in Latina, a rural region south of Rome where many Indian migrant labourers are employed.

The Satnam Singh case from June was particularly disturbing - abandoned after losing his arm? This shows the vulnerability of migrant workers abroad. Our government needs stronger bilateral agreements for worker safety.

As someone living in Italy, I've seen how Indian workers often take dangerous jobs that locals avoid. The Embassy's consular support is crucial, but prevention is better than cure. Safety standards need improvement.

My prayers for the departed souls and strength to their families 🙏 The Embassy is doing good work, but I wish they would be more proactive in safety awareness campaigns for Indians abroad.

Multiple accidents in such short time is concerning. Are our people getting proper training and safety equipment? The Embassy should also focus on pre-departure orientation programs.

While the Embassy's response is good, I feel we need better data collection about such incidents. How many Indian workers face accidents abroad annually? Transparency would help address systemic issues.
