Corona epidemic has sent back more than 56 thousand Indians living in Oman.

Muscat (03-Aug-2020) Corona epidemic has broken the economic backs of millions of Indians around the world. Hundreds of thousands of Indians from Gulf countries have returned to India due to job losses, while the Indian economy is set to face another major setback in the future when about 800,000 Indian workers will be laid off by Kuwait in the next few months.

The earnings of more than 5 million Indians living in the Gulf countries had given a big boost to India's economy. With the repatriation of millions of people, India is facing severe economic difficulties. A Gulf newspaper reports that the coronavirus epidemic has left more than 60,000 Indians living in Oman unemployed and destitute, awaiting immediate repatriation.

However, flights to Oman have not been stepped up by India, which has caused severe hardship to Indians living in Oman for employment. Vijay Menon, an Indian national living in Oman, said that the Corona epidemic has put thousands of Indians in Oman in dire straits. He has already sent his family away.
