‘Denied permission to…’: Kerala minister as IAF plane brings back 45 Indians killed in Kuwait

2024 kuwait mangaf building fire: veena george claimed she was denied permission by the centre to travel to kuwait..

Kerala health minister Veena George on Friday alleged that the central government did not permit her to travel to Kuwait to coordinate in assistance for Indian nationals from the state affected in the tragic fire incident in the Gulf country's southern city of Mangaf.

An uneasy silence hung over the import cargo terminal of the airport in Kochi in the morning as authorities made arrangements to receive the bodies of the 45 Indians who lost their lives in the building fire in Kuwait on Wednesday.

Ambulances were stationed at the terminal to carry the victims' bodies to their homes.

A special Indian Air Force aircraft, C-130J, carrying mortal remains of 45 Indian victims in the fire incident in Kuwait's Mangaf, landed in Kochi on Friday morning. Minister of state for external affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh, who reached Kuwait on Friday morning and coordinated with Kuwaiti authorities to ensure swift repatriation, was also onboard the aircraft, the Indian embassy said.

“It is very unfortunate that we did not get the consent (to travel to Kuwait). More than half of the people who died were from Kerala. The majority of the people who are under treatment are also from Keralam” Veena George told reporters at the Cochin International Airport.

The Kerala government had convened an emergency Cabinet meeting on Thursday and announced that Veena George, along with State Mission Director (NHM) Jeevan Babu, would urgently travel to Kuwait to coordinate efforts related to the treatment of those from the state who sustained injuries as well as oversee the repatriation of the bodies of the deceased. The victims include 24 from Kerala.

"The embassy did not give us the exact data on the number of seriously injured people. The data that we have collected from there is that a total of 7 people have been admitted to the hospital and 4 of them are from Kerala, but this is not officially declared. The purpose of my visit (to Kuwait) was that I wanted to be with the injured and bring their needs to the attention of the Central Government," George told reporters.

Union minister of state Suresh Gopi on Friday said that the external affairs ministry did a “wonderful” job in coordinating the efforts to ensure treatment of the Indians injured in the Kuwait fire tragedy .

The minister of state for tourism and petroleum also said he has cancelled his other programmes for the day and would be going to the international airport to receive the bodies of the Malayalees who died in the Kuwait fire tragedy.

Meanwhile, Kerala revenue minister K Rajan told reporters that the bodies of 23 Malayalees, 7 Tamilians and one person from Karnataka would be received in Kochi, before the flight carrying the mortal remains of the other Indians who died in the fire goes to Delhi.

Amazing Reviews From Our Customers

“We love it!!...Very nice experience with Skyway International Travels..Great planning and execution of the trip.. Great Hotel stay, especially Happy with stay at Coorg Palace...nice hotel and great ambiance. Staying at Roopa Elite was good, but not up to the mark. I'm so happy with Jagdeesh Ji, he is truly professional and one of the best tour driver I have met. My family has fully enjoyed this tour...”

Thank you Edited to add just done second tour to kings sanctuary plus transfers. Excellent driver and easy booking”

“Fantastic adventure! We reserved at the Kabini River Lodge and loved it. The rooms were comfortable and had lots of character, the food was excellent, but the best was the safaris! Plenty of different wildlife, and we did spot a tiger, albeit only briefly but they are there! I will go back and spend more time -I really enjoyed it. Highly recommended!”

Take steps to reduce travel cost, Loka Kerala Sabha delegates urge government

T HIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The huge expenses involved in travel was a key issue raised at a region-specific discussion conducted as part of the fourth Loka Kerala Sabha in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday. Delegates urged the state government and the Non-Resident Keralites Affairs (Norka-Roots) to take measures to reduce these costs.

The discussion highlighted the challenges faced by the Kerala diaspora in the Gulf region, with the delegates raising several issues and suggesting recommendations. There was a call for better regulation of agencies handling visiting visas, amid allegations of widespread mishandling and exploitation.

Delegates also spoke about the need for higher education opportunities for students from the UAE and Saudi Arabia and requested the conduct of cultural activities like ‘Kalotsavam’ for students studying abroad to maintain their cultural connection. Another concern raised was the delay in transporting the bodies of deceased Keralites from Arab countries, particularly Saudi Arabia.

The participants also sought a reintegration programme for those returning from the Gulf to prevent unemployment and increased flight services during peak seasons to accommodate the high travel demand.

The session also discussed the need for the government to ensure that companies provide compensation to the families of those affected by the Kuwait fire tragedy. Officials said due actions will be taken after careful consideration of the delegates requests.

The discussion was chaired by Minister for Ports and Museums Kadannappalli Ramachandran and Minister for Sports and Haj Pilgrimage V Abdurahiman.

MLAs Kadakampalli Surendran, Kurikkolli Moideen, K P Kunjammad Kutti, C H Kunjambu, V R Sunilkumar, and Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan were among those who attended the seminar.

Proposals galore

The questions and challenges related to migration were addressed in another seminar held on foreign recruitment. The session discussed the role migration has played in shaping Kerala’s social, political, and economic landscape.

“Today, over 10% of Kerala’s population resides outside India, contributing to the state’s economy through remittances. But recent trends indicate a decline in Gulf migration due to economic and policy changes with an increasing preference for Europe, Australia, and the Americas. Also, student migration has risen, driven by the pursuit of higher salaries and better living standards,” said Norka Roots CEO Ajith Kolassery.

The seminar discussed migration models, international collaboration, and skill development to leverage global job markets. Nursing and caregiving sectors were identified as having substantial opportunities.

The proposals included enhanced language training, job placement support, digital platforms to facilitate global employment for Keralites, establishing Norka help desks in foreign countries to assist migrants, exploiting opportunities in Jordan’s textile industry which currently employs 5,500 Indians, including 650 Keralites, taking legal measures against fraudulent activities, and offering government job opportunities in Kerala for those who work in overseas universities and hospitals on their return. Minister for Cooperation V N Vasavan chaired the session.
