The first batch of 26 Indian workers, who lost their jobs in Saudi Arabia, arrived in the capital on Thursday after the Saudi government issued them exit visas.
Aug 9, 2016- The Embassy of Nepal in Saudi Arabia said on Monday that it has been informed by Saudi’s ministry of labour about its plans to facilitate stranded workers to return home, if they wish so, after providing their due salaries.
Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Obaid Bin Dagher has appreciated efforts being exerted by the Kingdom in supporting the Yemeni government at various political, military, media and relief and humanitarian levels to restore legitimacy to the country and defeat the “coup militias” occupying public institutions.
Swarup said, “The swift action to tackle a localised problem specific only to some companies of Saudi Arabia signifies the deep and abiding relationship that our two countries share”.
The ban, partly in force since 2008, only allowed domestic helpers from Bangladesh to work in the kingdom. “We are confident that this will alleviate the problems faced by workers of all nationalities”, said the MEA Spokesperson. King Salman also directed the Saudi passport department to facilitate exit visas and other procedures for the distressed workers. The workers came by a flight from Jeddah. He said governments of the states the workers hail from will make arrangements for their passage back to their respective hometowns.

Earlier, Minister of External Affairs, Sushma Swaraj had said that the crisis of unemployment among the Indian workers has been “satisfactorily” resolved. As per the figures, the number of returnees in May this year was 7,752 while it was over 8,000 in June and 6,437 in July.
