Gulf Times. 11 April 2006 These sub-localities now house several collective labour accommodations and labour camps for the mainly South Asian labourers that service the industrial areas of Al Qusais, as well as construction workers who mainly support real estate projects south of Dubai Creek.{{Citation needed|date=May 2011}} This area is referred to as Sonapur (literally, Land of Gold in Urdu/Hindi) by expatriate labourers. In 2006, living conditions in the collective labour camps were criticised by Human Rights Watch as being "less than human".[https://www.hrw.org/reports/2006/uae1106/uae1106web.pdf Building Towers, Cheating Workers].
