Eight migrant workers from Srikakulam district, who were stranded in Oman after allegedly being cheated by an agent there, safely returned home on Tuesday night with the help of AP Non-Resident Telugu Society (APNRTS).
A team of NRTS led by its president and government adviser (NRI affairs and investments) Venkat S. Medapati consulted the Indian Embassy in Oman and ensured that the eight got food and accommodation before they were repatriated to Vijayawada.
According to an official release, the beleaguered workers went to Oman five months ago but were not provided any jobs by the agent who took them there. They were left to fend for themselves.
