Kuwait tightens labour laws, 12 Indians return

A sudden tightening of labour laws in Kuwait appears to have landed Indians in trouble, according to a few Keralites who landed in Delhi, a Kerala minister said here Friday.

State Minister for Diaspora K.C. Joseph told IANS that they were caught unawares of the arrival of the Keralites from Kuwait.

“Twelve Keralites landed, of which four have gone their way and the rest are staying in Kerala House in Delhi. We have asked officials to arrange for them to go to Kerala and have given them some money,” Joseph said.
