Amritsar: As many as 174 Indians, who had been stranded in various parts of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) because of the closure of companies where they were employed due to the coronavirus pandemic, were brought back by a chartered flight at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport .

The flight, which was organised by Indian businessman and philanthropist SP Singh Oberoi, departed from Ras al Khaimah in the UAE on Monday 13^th July 2020.

This was the second of the four chartered flights arranged by Oberoi to bring back the Indians from the UAE. On July 7, a chartered plane brought back 177 Indians to Chandigarh airport.

According to S.P.Singh Oberoi, the third and fourth flights will land in Chandigarh and Amritsar on July 19 and 25, respectively.

He said, “Thousands of Indians still want to return. Many companies in the UAE have been closed due to the pandemic and the Indians who had been working with them have been left in the lurch. Some of them are not even able to arrange two square meals.”

Oberoi said few passengers had bought their tickets, but the tickets for most were purchased by his Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust. He said his trust will also pay for the passengers’ Covid-19 tests.

Sikh motorcycle group has teamed up with a Gurdwara community to help repatriate thousands of unemployed workers to India from Dubai.

The group is working with the Sikh gurdwara in Jebel Ali to pay for peoples’ rent, flights home and to distribute packages of rice, lentils, flour, salt and oil to those who can cook in their accommodation.

The group has been delivering meals to unemployed workers across Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, since March.

Unemployed workers undergo medical tests before leaving Dubaifor India on repatriation flight.

More than 1,000 more workers will board flights to India over the next few weeks.

     Surender Singh Kandhari, chairman of the gurdwara in Jebel Ali

Surender Singh Kandhari, chairman of the gurdwara in Jebel Ali, said he hoped regular passenger flights would resume so more people could be repatriated to India.

“We have helped charter flights to north India and assisted families and men who were needy and those with medical issues,” said Mr Kandhari, whose volunteer group has paid the airfare for about 3,000 men and women.“I hope the governments will start normal commercial flights so then we don’t need to charter planes.

“All these men want to come back to UAE because they know that once the economy gets better, there will be plenty of opportunities here.”
