The Embassy of India organised an Open House on 26 May, which was chaired by H.E. Ambassador Piyush Srivastava. The Embassy’s consular team and panel of lawyers were also present. More than 60 Indian nationals participated in the Open House.
Ambassador Srivastava thanked the community for their overwhelming participation in various events held during the visit of Shri V. Muraleedharan, Minister of State for External Affairs (MoS), Government of India.
The Ambassador expressed happiness at a resolution of most of the issues raised at the last Open House. He conveyed his gratitude to the local authorities for their prompt support and co-operation. He also thanked the Indian community and organisations for their assistance in resolving a number of consular and labour matters.
Eight stranded Indian workers travelled back to India with the intervention of the Embassy and with the support and co-operation of the Labour Marketing Regulatory Authority (LMRA). The Embassy continued to help distressed Indian nationals including housemaids by providing boarding and accommodation, as well as granting emergency certificates and tickets to persons in need through the ICWF. It was a productive interactive session.
The grievances/issues of the Indian community were successfully addressed; some were resolved at the open house, while others will be taken up at the earliest possible. Ambassador Srivastava thanked all the Indian associations and community members for their active participation in the Open House.
