ISF reunites distressed Indian migrant worker from Kuwait with his Family

Kuwait: Showing humanitarian gesture, once again the Indian Social Forum (ISF), Kuwait extended their helping hand to an Indian migrant worker Hameed Islam hailing from Elanthila village of Belthangady Taluk in Dakshina Kannada District.

Hameed had gone to Kuwait in 2013 and was working as a cook in a restaurant. Everything was fine for the first 4 years. However, problems began when his sponsor closed his restaurant which forced him to join another employer for a new job. The new sponsor not only failed to renew his residency permit but also failed to pay him his wages. As a result, he had to struggle for about a year in Kuwait without proper accommodation and food.

Upon hearing his plight, a relative of Hameed contacted ISF officials through SDPI who rushed to his aid.

ISF office bearers with the help of Kuwaiti Authorities contacted his present sponsor and made necessary arrangements for him to be repatriated to India.

Hameed could neither attend his daughter’s marriage nor could take part in his mother’s funeral because of his travel ban from Kuwait. Hameed recalling his ordeal and expressed his gratitude to ISF members for their timely intervention which has helped him to rejoin his family back in India.
