India alert over free visa racket

[Sikh Boy]

INDIA yesterday pledged to help the Bahrain government to stamp out free visa racket in the country.
A campaign is being launched shortly by the Indian government through its official television channel to stop its nationals becoming victims of free visa rackets in the Gulf.
Doordarshan will produce programmes aimed at educating job seekers on the actual labour situation in the Gulf, said Indian Ambassador Balkrishna Shetty.
"Many of our nationals still fall into the trap of free visa racketeers in the Gulf," he told the GDN.
"Such people come here without jobs or contracts. If they approach us when they are in problem, the embassy will not be in a position to help them.
"Doordarshan, India's official television channel, is being hired to produce a series of programmes on employment situation abroad, especially in the Gulf."
Mr Shetty said that he is disturbed to see that many Indian nationals still arrive in Bahrain after paying huge amounts for free visas.
"This shows that free visa racket is still live and active in Bahrain. We want to support the Bahrain government's efforts to eliminate this racket," he added.
"In fact, expatriate workers' salary in the Gulf dropped considerably over the years, and one of the prime reasons for the same is the growth of the free visa racket.
"During the 1970s when the oil price per barrel was only $8 (BD3), the average salary of the Indian labourer was about BD60 to BD70 per month.
"It is sad and shocking to see that when the oil price has soared to $73 (BD27), the wages have dropped to BD40- BD50."
Mr Shetty also appealed to his nationals who seek jobs in Bahrain not to buy visit visa or free visa.
"Those who come here on visit visa are not allowed to work and they should come on proper employment visa," he added.
"The proposed television programmes will get this message across to Gulf jobseekers back home."
Mr Shetty said plans to grant immigration clearance only to those who hold an employment contract attested by the Indian embassies in the Gulf are put on a temporary hold.
The new rule was scheduled to come into force yesterday.
"However, it is being postponed as the Indian Ambassadors to Saudi Arabia and the UAE have asked for more time to implement it because of shortage of staff at the respective embassies," said Mr Shetty.

Country’s real estate sector might be witnessing ebbs but the downturn is only making things attractive for foreign investors. The slowdown, in fact, has set in more realistic valuations and growth-oriented investment opportunities for biggies to close in on lucrative deals. The US slowdown and the fact that China is tightening its FDI policy is also aiding a remarkable shift in investment. Experts reckon that cities like Mumbai, Bangalore and the NCR region are hot investment destinations owing to their strategic importance. But Industry experts do feel that most investors have been cashing in on the domestic market over the last six months. Shobhit Agarwal, MD, Capital Markets of global real estate consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj (JLLM) feels that most foreign finance institutions and funds sponsored by Wall Street banks are eyeing the Indian market at this time. Besides the slowdown, the US recession has made money move out into more suitable markets like India, while property valuations are amenable for investment at reasonable entry costs. In fact, government figures on the sectors attracting the highest FDI equity inflows further validate this claim. Till now, most of these investors were standing in the fence. Naturally so, as the earlier valuations were very high in terms of viability of projects…however, now they are much more feasible. There are some who view the slump in real estate as a necessary correction. Kanwar Deep Singh, Chairman, Alchemist Group sums up the trend: “All private equity firms that have invested in India in the last five years have made money at the rate of 30% per annum.For more view- realtydigest.blogspot.com
