Kuwait-based Al Thiqa Food Group Company has announced it will pay one year's salary to the family of Indian electrician Santhanaselvam Krishnan, who was killed in a drone strike amid the West Asia conflict.
The company made the decision to uphold its social and humanitarian responsibilities, according to Kuwait Times.
Krishnan, an Indian national, died when an Iranian drone attacked his workplace, a power and water desalination plant in Kuwait.
The company has received necessary approvals from authorities to begin paying Krishnan's one-year salary to his family in Tamil Nadu.
Over 1,150 Indian nationals have left Iran through the land border, with 818 students among them, according to the Ministry of External Affairs.
The West Asia conflict shows no signs of slowing down, with Iran dismissing ceasefire proposals and maintaining its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz amid fresh Israeli military action.
