More than 81,000 Indians have been deported from Gulf states so far this year for visa and other offences, a minister said yesterday. Nearly half of those were sent back by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), said Vayalar Ravi, who heads a ministry set up to look after Indians working abroad.
The reasons for their deportation include non-possession of valid visas, resident permits and violation of local laws. Saudi Arabia deported 28,904 illegal Indian migrants, while oil-rich Kuwait kicked out another 8,234, he told parliament.
Nearly 676,000 people, mainly from the southern Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, flew to the Gulf in 2007 in search of jobs, the ministry said in a statement, adding that a majority were skilled workers. Ravi also said he was taking steps to protect Indians, especially female workers, amid growing complaints of harassment of expatriate house maids.
Out of 70,000 illegal immigrants sent back recently from UAE, nearly 50,000 were from Andhra Pradesh.
