The Gulf Returnees’ Welfare Society in Karimnagar district, which is striving for the welfare of Gulf immigrants, has urged AICC vice president Rahul Gandhi to visit the families of Gulf immigrant victims in Laxmanchanda village during his Kishan Sandesh Yatra in Adilabad District on Friday.
Welcoming the yatra of Rahul Gandhi, the Gulf Returnees’ Welfare Society president Sheik Chand Pasha said that there are several Gulf immigrants’ families suffering in the Laxmanchanda village of Adilabad District as their dear ones were killed or committed suicide in the Gulf nations.
In a release here on Thursday, Mr.Chand Pasha said that the Gulf immigrants’ woes were also unending in the north Telangana districts. The Gulf immigrant victims who migrate to Far East nations in search of employment after making huge debts, were either lodged in jails for travelling on fake visas or killed at the work site and road accidents.

The victims’ families in the districts were unable to have last glimpse of the dear ones, who were killed in the foreign nations, as their bodies were not returned to their villages, he said. Alleging that the officials had colluded with the travel agents and deceiving the gullible rural masses, he said that the Government had failed to implement the Immigration rules and regulations Act.
He demanded that the Government take measures for providing compensation to the bereaved families of Gulf victims and check the fake travel agents' menace and also rehabilitate the Gulf returnees.
