EAM Sushma Swaraj directs Dubai embassy to help Indians forced to take shelter in bus

Lucknow,Dec 22: Taking cognizance of a media report about pathetic condition of some Indians in Dubai, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj asked Indian embassy to help them.

"I will ask UP Government to register a case against this unscrupulous agent. Our Embassy will help in Dubai," she weeted.

According to a report published in Times of India, over a dozen workers from Uttar Pradesh took shelter in a bus after being duped by a placement agency in Dubai.

These workers were promised highly paid jobs but were left in lurch after landing in Dubai two months ago.

Many of them borrowed money from local money landers to meet the visa and travelling expenses.

After a fortnight-long ordeal, help came from NRIs in Dubai. "Girish Pant has been looking after us for over a week now,'' said one of the workers.

Medical facilities and shelter have also been for them by NRIs.
