Indian govt. sets up online tracking system for transportation of bodies of workers

The Government of India has set up an online system for tracking the transportation of bodies of Indian workers who die in 17 emigration check required (ECR) countries, including the Gulf States.

The countries covered by the system are Malaysia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Jordan, Yemen, Lebanon, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Libya, Sudan, Syria, and Thailand.

Family members back home in India are often put to great financial and other difficulties in the matter of repatriation of the bodies of Indian workers who die in some of these countries.

The issue had come up for discussion at a meeting External Affairs and Overseas Indian Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had held with Indian Ambassadors in the Gulf countries on June 29 here.

Ms Swaraj had, following the meeting, directed the Ministry of Overseas of Indian Affairs (MOIA) to develop an online system that would facilitate transportation of the mortal remains of such workers.

The module developed by the Ministry was formally inaugurated by Ms Swaraj here today.

The software module can be accessed from the website of MOIA (www.moia.gov.in).

It will allow a person to submit an online application for transportation of the mortal remains of a deceased emigrant.

After the application is submitted, the system will generate a unique Application Reference Number (ARN), through which progress on the application can be tracked.

The online application will be processed by the concerned Indian Mission electronically through the system.

The applicant will receive updates through email and SMS facility. The applicant can view the update status of the case by using the tracking facility and can subsequently submit additional information also.

The Indian Missions are required to update the status and action taken on such applications on a daily basis.

If they do not do this, alerts will go to them automatically from the system.

The module also enables the Indian Mission to file death reports in host country based on information received from sources other than the family of the deceased.

The application will be closed only after mortal remains are either transported or the Mission provides valid reasons for not being able to transport the body.

Keeping in view the educational status of ECR passport holders, the system has also been linked with the Overseas Workers Resource Centre (OWRC) which is an information facilitation as well as complaint redressal centre for the emigrants.

Those who cannot fill the information directly on this system can provide the information to OWRC on toll free no. (1800-113090) and the OWRC would submit the same information to the system in the similar way as is done by the individual.

OWRC is equipped to receive information in eleven languages -- English, Hindi, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Oriya and Gujarati. Source: Net Indian | Photo by Reuters/Fadi Al-Assaad
