Medidas tomadas: The men's labour officer forced their sponsor to provide enough money for them to buy food; only two with valid visas could leave the accommodation to buy food. The workers who have remained in Riyadh have filed a labour court case there. In September 2019 a report on the case was acknowledged by the Indian embassy in Riyadh that they were seeking a solution. Of the 61 Indian workers, 39 were repatriated in February and March of 2020; one had returned the previous year. 21 decided to stay to fight a labour case; 6 of these had then applied to exit visas with the remaining 15 staying in Riyadh.
