Security checking in Kuwait, many including Keralites in agony

NEW DELHI: Many including Keralites in Kuwait are having a tough time   following a raid conducted as part of security checking. Almost thousands have been arrested so far in the raid conducted by the government. Those arrested were staying in Kuwait illegally without valid documents. Raids are continuing in various parts of the country.

The inspection campaigns are being conducted as per the directive of Ahmadi Security Directorate Major General. Authorities in civil police dress arrested many including Keralites and sent them to jail.

25 Keralites of the arrested have been sent back to India. The flight from Sharjah reached Delhi Friday afternoon. The returned complained that they were neither provided food nor water till they reached here. They said they don’t have a single penny to reach home and many more Keralites are still in jail.

Meantime, government authorities said people were arrested as they were staying without valid documents, some were doing business illegally and some involved in crimes. Authorities hinted that steps will be taken against those involved in cases.

Minister K C Joseph said the Keralites who reached Delhi from Kuwait will be sent to their native places in government’s expense.  Arrangements will be made to accommodate them in the Kerala House. He blamed the Kuwait government for not informing them about their return.
