riyadhRiyadh, Jun 16: The Embassy of India urges all Indian nationals who have obtained Emergency Certificates (ECs)/Out passes from the Embassy to ensure that they obtain their exit visas from Tarheels immediately. Anyone who overstays their visa in Saudi Arabia beyond the grace period will face penal action including jail sentence, penalty and deportation with a ban on re-entry.

The Embassy again urges all overstaying Indian nationals to avoid such a situation by availing the 'concessions' announced by the Saudi authorities during the grace period which ends on July 3, 2013.

All those who have obtained ECs from the Embassy will have their original passports cancelled. They will not be able to travel out of India using their old passports, even if the date of expiry on their passports shows validity. Anyone wanting to change their jobs (Tanazul) in Saudi Arabia could obtain new passports after following the necessary procedures. New passports will be issued to such applicants at VFS Counters in Um Al Hammam and Batha in Riyadh within three working days.

Those who did not do fingerprinting on their arrival in Saudi Arabia and also do not have either Iqama or Saudi visa copy may approach Dauriath section in Sumeshi Tarheel at Riyadh for fingerprinting (Basma) and to obtain Exit. If they still have any problem, they may contact the helpdesk at the Embassy in Riyadh during working hours on week days.

The Embassy urges all Indian nationals who have applied for ECs to collect the same from the Embassy on the dates allotted to them. All ECs should be collected on or before June 20, 2013. It is reiterated that all those who have collected their ECs should obtain EXIT visas from Tarheels immediately and leave the country.

Those Indians who obtained their ECs, but do not have any documents to ascertain their date of entry to Saudi Arabia, but have their initial Saudi visa copy, could obtain the entry number from the website of Ministry of Interior at www.moi.gov.sa. The Indian volunteers at Tarheel would help those who need assistance to get their Entry numbers. Indians who are returning from Airport should approach the special counter set up by Saudi authorities in Sumeshi Tarheel.

The following category of people is not being issued EXIT at Tarheel: (i) those have valid Iqamas; (ii) those who arrived in Saudi Arabia after January 7, 2013; (iii) those who were declared huroob on or after April 6, 2013; (iv) those who are working in green category companies.

If any of these categories have any further queries they may contact the Embassy of India Tarheel Helpline numbers (Tele: 0546843866, 0546843894, 0546843836, 0546843746, 0546843903). They may also contact Embassy officials and volunteers deployed at Sumeshi Tarheel.

When the black and white photos of the ‘London to Calcutta (Kolkata) bus service’ went viral on social media recently, the response of some of the netizens was “stop spreading fake news!” But, it isn’t a fake news. The late 1950s indeed offered people a lavish bus trip from London to Kolkata. 

While one of the viral images shows passengers at the Victoria Coach Station, London, boarding 'Albert', the other image show the same bus travelling through a valley. In another image the bus is stationed at a tourist spot. All these photos were captured during the bus’ maiden international journey in 1957.  

An image of the bus ticket is also making rounds on social media, that shows the route of the bus — London, Belgium, West Germany, Austria,Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, West Pakistan, India. The route in India followed Delhi, Agra, Allahabad, Banaras and finally Calcutta.

The ticket shows that a one side travel cost 145 pounds (13,644 Rupees at the present day) back then, and it was inclusive of all the luxury provided during the run.

The luxurious bus provided the facilities of reading, individual sleeping bunks, radio/taped music for parties and pleasure and fan heaters, among other things. The brochure reads, "Your complete home while you travel."

Some of the tour highlights included Banaras on the Ganges, The Taj Mahal, The Raj Path, The Rhine Valley and The Peacock Throne. Passengers reportedly got free shopping days in New Delhi, Tehran, Salzburg, Kabul, Istanbul and Vienna.
