Health and Safety of workers



The Indian government has woken up very lately after suffering millions of its citizens working in Gulf for years. Still there are lot of areas which are directly associated with the health, safety and welfare of the workers. Every year hundreds of workers lose their lives in workplace accidents. The Indian government should have a mechanism to deal with this ignored issue.

Alleged Care



If the Indian government were concerned over the living conditions of their people, why not improve the conditions in their own country instead of relying on other governments to do so.

Minimum wages of Unskilled indian females



I think we should consider the living cost in UAE now, and whether this salary will be enough for living here, sending money to their family in their home country or saving against years of being outside and far from their family.

I believe the minimum wage should not be less than AED2500.

Indian Goverment to take care of Professionals



I appreciate and am proud to be an Indian, for the measures taken by our Goverment. Also I would request the Embassy not only to take care of the unskilled workers, also professionals. As I know there are lot of skilled professionals who are being under paid. Now as the market is booming, they are unable to switch over to the next job, which could offer a right pay to them, due to the new law of obtaining NOC to change the visa. I have a feeling that the employers are using this tool to benefit themselves. Would our government also look into the professionals problem?

Good luck to the Indian Government with this one. Think I'll pay the extra 300/month and get a Filipina!
