The remaining 16 complaints are under active follow up of the embassy, it was explained in the statement issued after the latest Open House on November 30.
The grievances brought to the notice of the embassy at last week’s event were related to issues of delayed payment of wages and violations of contract terms and conditions.
Ambassador P Kumaran, third secretary (Labour & Community Welfare) Dr M Aleem and other officials met all the complainants, discussed their problems in detail and assured them of the embassy’s active follow up of their cases with the authorities concerned in the government of Qatar.
An embassy team visited the Central Prison and Deportation Centre last week to enquire about the welfare of detainees from India. The total number of Indian nationals in the Central Prison and the Deportation Centre currently is 210 and 86, respectively.
The embassy has issued 88 Emergency Certificates in November to Indian nationals for their repatriation to India. The embassy also issued 17 air tickets to needy Indian nationals for their return to India last month.
During November, the embassy also organised four consular camps at Salwa, Mesaieed, Al-Khor, and Dukhan and Zikreet areas and rendered 254 consular services to the Indian nationals.
Officials of the Indian Community Benevolent Forum (ICBF), the apex community association working under the aegis of the embassy for the welfare of Indian workers, were also present.
President Devis Edakulathur, vice-president Babu Rajan, general secretary Mahesh Gowda, advisory council chairman Karim Abdullah and some other members of the ICBF management committee also participated in the Open House.
The ICBF supports the efforts of the embassy and helps Indian workers through various welfare measures, including supply of foodstuff, transport support, medical assistance and other minor assistance.
