Don't blame the Locals for all the troubles.. sometimes they don't even have a clue of whats going on within the organization. More often then not it is the Indian (mallus) and Sri Lankan managers who have been abusing, ill treating and withholding NOC's from the workers. There was this Swedish logistics company where people have been removed for no rhyme or reason giving imaginary excuses of recession and then filling the organization with their brothers in law and relatives from Sri Lanka. Perhaps this helps this guys in the self enrichment process
