The Indian Embassy in Bahrain has made significant strides in addressing concerns raised during its recent Open House session, with the majority of cases now resolved, officials said.

Led by Ambassador Vinod Kurian Jacob, the session, attended by the Consular team and a panel of lawyers, facilitated solutions for various issues faced by Indian citizens in the Kingdom.

Efforts persist in aiding distressed housemaids with accommodation, emergency certificates, and travel arrangements through the Indian Community Welfare Fund (ICWF). Legal aid, provided on a means-tested basis, has also been extended to Indian nationals in need.

Ambassador Jacob expressed gratitude to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, and Bahraini authorities for their role in the release of Indian prisoners through royal pardon.

Furthermore, he acknowledged the swift support from Bahraini government entities such as the Ministry of Labour, LMRA, and immigration authorities in addressing consular and community welfare matters.

Appreciation was also extended to Indian associations, volunteers, and the Embassy’s panel lawyers for their participation and support during the Open House session.
