500 INDIANS SUFFER IN BAHRAIN

500 INDIANS SUFFER 
IN BAHRAIN
In line with the trouble faced by Indian workers in the Gulf, a large number of Indian workers in Bahrain have sought the support of the Ministry of External Affairs.The months-old problem came to light when a group of workers employed with a Bahraini private company appealed to the Union government for help through social media networks.They said that at least 500 workers had not received salary for months and were living on food handouts from benefactors.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday instructed the Indian Embassy in Manama to help the workers.“The Indian embassy in Bahrain is seized of the matter and will help them,” she said when followers on her Twitter page sought her intervention. Subsequently, the Indian embassy in Bahrain said in a message: “The matter has been taken up with the local Govt. Mission is working for a speedy resolution to the issue.”
