Abu Dhabi: The Indian Cultural Society, Abu Dhabi chapter, UAE, has once again extended its helping hand to an Indian worker to return back to India.

Shawkath, an Indian from Bihar, came to UAE last June with a dream and an intention of earning good livelihood for his family through an agent to work for a manufacturing company, as an accountant with all service benefits.

However, upon landing in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Shawkath was forced to work as an Office Asst. with additional responsibilities of store keeper, etc. The owner of the company made him work for 12 hours a day without overtime, sick leave or any other benefits.

To his surprise, two months back the company had given him resignation letter stating that his performance was not satisfactory and forced him to sign the resignation letter or work with half of current salary. Upon rejection, the company administration had confiscated his passport and withheld his 2 Months’ salary and warned him of legal action.

Meantime, Shawkath approached Indian Cultural Societyfor advice and help. The representatives of Indian Cultural Society took the task in their hands and consulted the officials of the UAE labour office and Indian consulate office to clear the issue immediately. The relentless efforts of the Indian Cultural Society bore fruits and theCompany Management cleared his salary dues and released his passport.

Indian Cultural Society Members, Mr. Ashraf Machar, Mr. Iqbal Pandeshwara, Mr. Rashid Bejai, Irshad Kapu, Mr. HanifMontepadauwith the support of well-wisher, arranged his Air Ticket and repatriated the worker back home. Shawkath had no words to appreciate ICS’s help, and was extremely grateful to the association.

Dubai, Aug 7: ‘Nama Tuluve’ Purushotham Salian, a staunch stalwart who always supported humanity and a strong pillar for Tuluvas in Dubai, passed away August, 4 at Al Tawam Hospital Al Ain. He was suffering from cancer and was admitted to Al Tawam Hospital Al Ain some time ago. He was on the last stage of illness which was not detected earlier.

His funeral last rites were conducted on Thursday August 7 at Jebel Ali cemetery in Hindu rites with a few of his family members present. Due to Covid pandemic, neither his body was able to be flown back to hometown nor could his two children come down to attend the funeral. However, it was said that his wish was to be cremated here in Dubai which unknowingly sometime back he whispered to one of his friends.

Purushotham had few years ago, survived a heart attack and fought back his life, though it had a minor paralytic effect on him. Even though, till recently he used to do his day-to-day work normally. He was a hard working personality and owned a readymade garment shop in Ajman and Dubai mostly taking care of clients with requirement of uniforms and coveralls. His dedication towards work was always appreciated by his clients who used to get their things delivered on time always.

He was never a publicity person and was helping the poor and needy in whatever ways he could silently. He strongly supported the community and was associated with Nama Tuluveru and Billawa community with commitment. He used to voluntarily come forward for the ground work of various functions of the community and used to be there until it was done perfectly.
