Journalists have been given a tour of the worker camp in Dubai that was a subject of the BBC Panorama documentary "Slumdogs and Millionaires".

The unsanitary conditions shown in the documentary have been largely rectified, though incidents of overcrowding were still witnessed by the journalist who wrote this piece in the Khaleej Times.

The article refers to other steps being taken to prevent breaches of Dubai worker regulations.
