is it???

1) I am not sure, but is it not true that Sponsors are supposed to deposit cash equivalent of one return ticket for each employee with the Ministry when they bring in people (hired-help / labour).

2) People on QL why pounce on Richmand/PremPrakash, he was doing a favour for the people by giving then a roof and food while their sponsor abandoned them.

3) It is true, that there are a few sponsors here that bring in labourers just to make a quick buck, have any of you seen people (mostly from India, Nepal, Srilanka) sitting and waiting at the airport arrivals lounge. They do not know their sponsor, neither have a contact number or name of company employing them. ( Human Trafficing)

4) You will find a few people (from Asia) abandoned by their sponsor for various reasons, and do you think the government will do anything to the sponsor. The govt./police/CEID, would rather label the unfortunate / uneducated labour as absconding or illegal and keep them behind bars......... Rather the sponsor and the agent back home should be black listed and sent to jail. The easiest way out, blame the labourer.

If the issued at Mitery Kunja is well know by the Ministry of Labour and NHCR why did they not help or is it just hype that these people care for the welfare of all.

5) These are poor country embassies and they do not have enough funds to sponsor the air ticket back to their homeland. Also, consider that most of the people would not have valid visas as they are abandoned by their sponsors, the cost to legalise them would be high.

These are a few of my thought.

I really feel the govt must change here. All data is computerised, so would it not be easy for the Ministry to enter the absconders name and get the sponsors name from the system. Most big companies will not commit this type of crime, it is only Qataris who want to make a quick buck by giving their name to sponsor or sell visa to uneducated people desperate to get out of their homeland.
