Jaishankar Addresses Rudy's Concerns on Migrant Worker Safety
Imagine many Indian workers going to work in other countries, like those in the Gulf region.
A politician, Rudy, was worried about their safety because many workers have died.
He asked the government to help.
The government, represented by Jaishankar, responded.
Jaishankar said that the Indian government already has a fund called ICWF to help Indian workers abroad if they face any problems.
This fund provides help like legal aid and medical assistance.
The government is also working on agreements with other countries to protect the rights of these workers.
They are trying to make sure these workers are safe and treated well.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar responded to MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy's concerns.
Rudy raised the issue of Indian migrant worker safety in Lok Sabha on March 17.
24,570 Indian workers died in the Gulf between 2012 and 2018, according to Rudy.
