Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (KD/NR)
Mangalore, Mar 9: Kuwait Tulu Koota displayed it's humanity and generosity towards seven innocent persons who had earlier been cheated by a foreign recruiting agent here, recently.
It is a heart-rendering tale, wherein the said seven persons had been sent through a agent to Kuwait with lofty promises of a steady job and income, but once there they were reduced to being jobless, shelterless and even food-less as they had been royally duped by the travel agents.
However, in the form of a savior they were shown sympathy by the Kuwait Tulu Koota who organized for them to be sent back home. The persons who were duped by the agents were Peter Alwin Fernandes, Urban D’Souza, Phascal Rocky D’Souza, Ashok Gopu Poojary, Valerian Rodrigues, Pradeep Alake and Sandeep.
Sources here inform that the victims had been sent to Kuwait without proper visa and once there they had become desperate without any job since the past one month. However, when the Tulu Koota came to know about it, they helped them with accommodation and food and took care of them for a few days.
Arrangement were made by the Koota to send them to their homeland which cost nearly a Rs 1 lac. Presently Ashok Gopu Poojary is the only one without a valid passport and so is taken care of by the Tulu Koota.
Tulu Koota Kuwait is a cultural association of Tulu speaking people living in the State of Kuwait. Tulu Koota Kuwait was formed on 11th August 2000 and was affiliated to Indian Embassy during the year 2001.
