Belthangady/Kuwait: In a humanitarian gesture, volunteers of the Indian Social Forum (ISF), Kuwait extended a helping hand to an Indian migrant worker Hameed Islam hailing from Elanthila village of Belthangady Taluk in Dakshina Kannada District.
In 2013, Hameed had left for Kuwait and was employed as a cook in a restaurant there. While everything was okay during the first 4 years of his stay, problems began for Hameed when his sponsor closed his restaurant and he was forced to join another employer. However, 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 rescue. ISF office bearers with the help of Kuwaiti Authorities contacted his present sponsor and made necessary arrangements for him to be repatriated to Mangaluru.
Hameed who could neither attend his daughter’s marriage nor take part in his mother’s funeral because of his travel ban from Kuwait expressed his gratitude to ISF members for their timely intervention which helped him to rejoin his family back in India.
