Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Saudi Arabia said on Thursday it is addressing the concerns of some 43 Indian workers employed by a firm in the kingdom, with six having already been repatriated and another 12 set to return soon. Saud bin Mohammed al-Sati, the Saudi Arabian envoy, rejected reports that the Indians were being "held captive" by the firm and had been denied their wages. The issue came to light on Tuesday after external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj responded to a request for help from Telangana IT and NRI affairs minister KT Rama Rao and directed the Indian envoy to Saudi Arabia to rescue the Indian workers.
