Needy Indians stranded in the UAE looking to go back to their home country have been offered a ray of hope, with a businessman offering to sponsor their tickets. Dr Dhananjay Datar, chairman and managing director of Al Adil Trading, will also sponsor the Covid-19 testing fees of needy travellers going back to India.
Many stranded expats are not in a position to cough up the airfare and Covid-19 testing fees. "I understand that many individuals who have lost their jobs are unable to make use of this initiative (special repatriation flights operated by the Indian government) to go to their hometown. I will be coordinating with the approved bodies to extend a helping hand to those in need.
"All necessary guidelines in connection with this will be strictly followed. I spoke with the Indian Consul General in Dubai, Vipul, and would like to sponsor tickets for Indians. I am doing my small bit and hope my initiative will be of use. I also request all my fellow citizens to do their bit so that together we can overcome this crisis at the earliest. I express gratitude and salute the efforts of all those who are involved in the repatriation process," Dr Datar added.
Those looking to avail of the businessman's offer have been advised to contact Bernard at +971 50 675 9191.
