Diplomat Group WLL and Nagarjuna Construction Co. India Ltd. (NCCIL) JV have cheated me.
I was working as an Executive Secretary to the Group General Manager of Diplomat Group WLL (website - www.diplomatgroup.org) from Qatar and Nagarjuna Construction Co. India Ltd. (they are calling themselves as DIPNCC) at Qatar Petroleum NGL project at Mesaieed Qatar.
When I applied for this position and after the interview and after due salary negotiation I was being offered a salary of QAR 7000 by giving me an 'Employement Agreement' signed by the Diplomat Group CEO, JVN PRAKASH RAO and I agreed to it by counter signing it.
But the day I reached there I was left to miserable situation, when I got to know that I will be given salary of QAR 5000, due to their internal conflict with Nagarjuna Construction Cos Director Operations - Bhaskar Reddy O V. Which I heard first of its kind and really found everything hopeless.
After writing several email, they did not took any action and at last I had to leave after two months.
During my stay I found both the cos. and their JV to be so badly managed that I can't imagine. Their food and living conditions were very bad, you cant imagine we had to leave our belonging on Gods hand and leave for work and the toilets wre so filthy and dirty no one can imagine, they don't give away the basic amenities like cupboard, keys, toillet cleaning etc. Even the QP boss was found agast in every meeting which I used to attend every week.
These guys are just mocking with the labor law of Qatar. This is not at all acceptable. I didnot sue them over there as I was being told that my passport will not be given and I will be thrown away from the accomodation.
I left the company with after going through the hell and mental trauma.
I would appreciate if any one can guide me to set a precedence that this things never happens to anyone again working for that company. I have although consulted the lawyers in India and thinking of a legal law suit as both those senior company officers are representing India and they cannot set bad precedence, our law don't allow that, being an Indian I must do that.
Thank you in advance for your kind advice to me.

Meet head of the embassy as told by Kiwi atonce ask for food / room from them also .... Tue , 30.09.2014, 07.27 hrs
Also consult your embassy about your passport being illegally taken from you.
First of all, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately your's is not an isolated case. This is an all too common theme in Qatar. Your next step should be to the Labour Department. Inform them of your situation, the company you work for, and that they are illegally withholding your passport. Take with you your documentation - bank statements, employment agreement etc. You should also tell the Labour Department that you intend to pay a visit to the Human Rights Commission to inform them of your situation, and of the squaller that unsuspecting workers are forced to live in.
Labor Department: Toll-free 8006611, or 44841221. E-mail: [email protected]

I wish you luck.
