A migrant worker's assault with a sickle in Tamil Nadu has sparked concerns about deeper issues beyond a simple individual clash. Experts highlight the easy access to drugs among minors, weak policing in transit zones, and the normalization of violence via social media. Local residents noted the accused juveniles had a history of posting intimidating videos, with past pleas for intervention on social media seemingly unaddressed. The incident raises questions about the vulnerability of migrant workers and the state's response to substance abuse among youth.
