Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
More than 100 workers who were stranded without salaries for the last few months have been repatriated by their embassies. The workers were from at least four countries and belonged to a contracting firm. It is understood that the Indian embassy alone repatriated 116 of its nationals using its Indian Community Welfare Fund. Apart from providing air tickets, the embassy and its affiliated forum, the Indian Community Benevolent Forum (ICBF), also gave token financial assistance to the affected workers who insisted on returning home even though many of them had employment offers from some other companies.
