External
Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has extended her help to an Indian worker
trapped in limbo in a hospital of Oman.
"If
Doctors permit travel we will contact his family and bring Bikku Prasad back to
India.
Sushma said in
a tweet taking a note of report in Times of Oman.
The leading
daily of Oman shared an article reporting about an Indian worker Bikku Prasad.
Bikku, who came
to Oman on a visit visa, took up a job without following official procedures.
He is now battling for life at a hospital in Muscat without much help.
"This is Bikku
Prasad, an Indian worker who came to Oman hoping for a new life. Now, he is
clinging to his old one--a man on a ventilator trapped in limbo, he collapsed
just three days after getting a job but his papers were under processing. He
was on a visit visa for three months before getting a job," the report
said.
"Without
correct papers, he is also stuck in bureaucratic limbo, with nobody ready to
pay his medical bills. Had he come to Oman through proper channels,
his hospital treatment would have been covered. Instead, he came on a visit visa and
then found a job. He had not received his labour card when he collapsed at
work," it added.
