Dubai, Apr 14: Around 2,500 Indians have approached Indian missions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) seeking help to be flown home during the ongoing coronavirus lockdown, top diplomats have said.
The Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Indian Consulate in Dubai together have received requests from "a little more than 1,000 individuals" while the latter has received an additional request from an employer who has laid-off around 1,000 Indian workers, reports Gulf News on Monday.
According to the Indian Ambassador to the UAE Pavan Kapoor, the missions have not been bombarded with mass requests from the people who wish to take an immediate flight home unlike widespread reports on social media.
Most of the individuals who have expressed their interest to return home are visitors and those who lost their jobs, he told Gulf News.
Consul General of India in Dubai, Vipul said his mission had received nearly 1000 requests via email and phone from people who want to return home.
"A majority of them are visit visa holders. On Sunday, we got information about another large group of around 1,000 Indian workers who have lost jobs. The employer has got in touch to know the options to send them back home as early as possible," he told Gulf News.
However, the diplomatic heads refuted unverified reports that claim tens of thousands of Indians were scrambling to fly home during the pandemic.
They added that the missions have been aiding hundreds of workers, who have been left in the lurch by their employers, with provisions.
The Indian government had said that flight services cannot be resumed during the lockdown period, which has now been extended till May 3.

99% Muslims over all do all haram business.... Monarch is prohibited.. still saudi has monarchism ..... Idol worship is haram... u will find highest darga in India...... Interest is haram... 90% of bank borrowers and lenders are muslims..... highest default and interest payers in bank are muslims ... are Muslims..... ... my dear brothers before saying haram and halal.. first lets be perfect and then talk about haram and halal.....
#ummar,
Idol worshiping is forbidden in Islam, to support it or fecilitate it by any of the way is forbidden or it is like supporting idolatery,,,
Regarding your examples, prayer by Khalifa Umer or any muslim , at any place of clean is allowed , if there is no any idolatery supported images or any articles....and same way in islam , it is forbidden to harm any non muslim worshiping places...as mentioned by your second example...
This is surely Interest money, Bank Interest is Haram in Islam, Many Muslims have disputed land in their posses. these land either they have to give on charity or live for the Govt. So better to give to Ram Temple since Ram temple is very less in our country comparing to Snake temple and Monkey temple...Useless Muslims who did this all of them reserved places in hell surely Almighty Allah will punish them severely Insha Allah...!!!
NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI... For Sure it means there is no image of GOD.
Ram is a HUMAN and Human has a picture. And U go against the VEDAS.
I think this guy want to deviate the locals & himself far from the TRUE GOD, who says God forgives every SIN except associating PARTNERs with him.
May ALLAH protect us from associating PARTNER with him knowingly & unknowingly.
