Dubai: Indian
Ambassador Hamid Ali Rao has assured expatriate Indian workers in
the country's Eastern Province of all possible help in mitigating
their problems following new immigration law.
In a meeting held at the Indian School in the provincial capital
of Dammam Tuesday, the ambassador took first-hand information
about the problems faced by members of the Indian community, the
Arab News newspaper reported.
Deputy chief of mission Sibi George accompanied him.
Members of the community submitted memorandums listing their
various grievances.
In one such memorandum, the Federation of Overseas Indian
Organisations urged the ambassador to look into the issue of poor
living conditions at the deportation centre for illegal
expatriates.
Rao told the gathering the matter has already been taken up with
the authorities, and that several hospitals and dispensaries were
willing to provide treatment to the inmates of the centre.
The envoy also said he was ready to open a legal aid cell in the
Eastern Province.
There are around 1.8 million expatriate Indians in that Gulf
nation.
