  • Saudi Arabia: Hyderabad woman rescued in Nov awaits repatriation

    Saudi Arabia: Hyderabad woman rescued in Nov awaits repatriation

    Hyderabad school

    Hyderabad: A Hyderabad woman named Sakina Fatima was rescued in November after being tortured by her employer in Hafar Al Batin, Saudi Arabia. Since then, she is staying in the Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia and waiting for repatriation.

    The Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) party which had raised her case earlier too has requested External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar to speed up the repatriation process.

    Recused after Hyderabad woman’s brother wrote letter 

    Last year in November, Sakina’s brother Syed Zaker Hussain wrote a letter to the Minister for External Affairs, appealing for her rescue. In the letter, he explained that Sakina, who was in search of a job to look after her family after the death of her husband, was approached by a local agent and offered a job as a housemaid in Dubai. The agent promised a three-month visit visa and said that if she liked the job, her visa would be extended to two years. However, after three months, she wanted to return to Hyderabad as she was not paid any salary.

    Instead of sending her back, Sakina was sold to an Arab family in Saudi Arabia and forced to work for 18 hours daily. Even after her mother passed away, she was not sent back to India. After learning of her situation, concerned authorities rescued her and moved her to the Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia.

    Awaiting repatriation

    Since November, Sakina is staying in the embassy and awaiting repatriation. MBT has requested the External Affairs Minister to intervene and expedite her repatriation process.

    The case highlights the plight of many workers from India who are lured to the Gulf countries with false promises and end up trapped in exploitative work situations.

  • Uttar Pradesh man who rescued, cared for Sarus crane booked

    Uttar Pradesh man who rescued, cared for Sarus crane booked

    [ad_1]

    Amethi: The Forest department has filed a case and issued a notice to an Uttar Pradesh man who rescued a Sarus crane and took care of it for a year, officials said.

    The crane, which lived with Arif Khan Gurjar in the Mandkha village of Amethi district, accompanied him to his fields and was accepted “like a family member”, was taken away by Forest department officials on March 21.

    The bird was shifted to the Samaspur sanctuary in Rae Bareli to allow it to live in its natural environment, an official had said.

    On Saturday, the department issued a notice to Gurjar and asked him to appear at the office of the Gauriganj divisional forest officer on April 4 to record his statement.

    According to the notice issued by Assistant Divisional Forest Officer (Gauriganj) Ranvir Singh, Gurjar has been booked under relevant sections of the Wildlife Protection Act.

    A day after the bird was taken away, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav held a press conference during which he condemned the Forest department action and asked indirectly if any official had the courage to take away the peacocks at the prime minister’s residence.

    Gurjar sat on the dais with the former chief minister but did not speak.

    Yadav had visited Gurjar after he gained fame due to his “friendship” with the bird. He had also shared pictures of himself with the bird and Gurjar on social media.

    Responding to Yadav’s allegations, Divisional Forest Officer DN Singh had said, “Whatever action has been taken is with Arif’s (Gurjar) consent.”

    The official said these birds always live in pairs. Since this one was living alone, there was some apprehension about its wellbeing.

    On Thursday, Yadav alleged that the crane had gone missing before being rescued by some local residents. Forest officials, however, had denied the claim.
