Saudi Arabia Migrant Crisis: Govt Assures Action on Repatriation

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has reaffirmed its commitment to assisting Indian workers stranded in Saudi Arabia. This assurance came via a written reply by Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh in the Lok Sabha on Friday, August 1, 2025.

The reply addressed concerns regarding the repatriation and welfare of these workers. Specific details on the number of stranded workers and the measures undertaken were not immediately available in the Lok Sabha statement.

However, the MEA’s statement highlights the government’s ongoing efforts to address the situation. This includes diplomatic engagement with Saudi Arabian authorities and proactive support for Indian nationals facing difficulties abroad.

The issue of Indian workers facing hardship overseas remains a critical concern. The government’s response will be closely watched, particularly given the significant number of Indians working in the Gulf region. This situation underscores the need for robust protective measures for Indian migrant workers globally.
