61 Indian workers were reportedly stranded in the compound of an unknown private company. At the time of reporting the workers had allegedly not been paid for 10 months, were lacking food, their passports were withheld and their work permits were not renewed - some had been expired since June 2018. The men were recruited through a company in India called A&P; the Indian Minister of External Affairs alleged that the workers were stranded due to company mismanagement.

Response sought: Non
Mesures prises: The Sarpanch (head) of the men's village wrote to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs seeking intervention to repatriate some of the workers. He also stated that the men had sought intervention from the local labour court, after which the company returned the workers' passports. The company had reportedly made promises to repatriate the men but had not yet delivered.
"61 Indian workers stranded in Saudi Arabia, Gujurat Sarpanch seeks MEA's intervention", 20 Sep 2019
Sixty-one Indians... have reportedly been stranded in a compound of a private company in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia...
[The head of the men's home village, Ansar Dilawarbhai Rathod, said] “These men have not been paid for months neither have their work permit been renewed. They are stuck inside the campus of a Riyadh-based company"...
Rathod stated that the workers have been stranded due to mismanagement of the [recruitment] company A&P.
“After the intervention of the local labour court, the company has returned the workers’ passport but it is useless as their work permit has expired and if they step out, they would be arrested as per law of the land,” Rathod said.
[We attempted to invite A&P to respond to this allegation but were unable to find contact information.]
