Kerala Chief Minister VD Satheesan has sought the Centre's intervention to help Indian healthcare workers affected by visa-related issues in the UAE following the closure of an Iranian hospital in Dubai.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Satheesan highlighted the plight of Kerala-based workers who are facing significant visa restrictions and possibilities of losing their jobs due to the hospital's closure.
The CM shared the full letter on his X handle, requesting the Government of India to engage with the UAE authorities and help secure a fair and compassionate resolution for the affected families.
Many affected individuals are currently nearing the end of their grace period and fear that they may be compelled to leave the UAE, potentially jeopardizing their future employment opportunities and professional licensing.
Satheesan urged the Indian embassy to coordinate with local authorities in the UAE and arrive at a "fair and compassionate" resolution for the affected people.
