West Asia Tensions: The global impact of the ongoing tension in the Middle East is being seen. This is also having a direct impact on those Indians who work in Gulf countries and send money to their families after earning from there. However, despite the fierce fighting going on in West Asia, these NRIs do not want to return back to India.
According to recruitment experts, these workers want to keep their jobs safe. Also, they want to continue providing financial help to the families living in their country. At present, these workers are getting wages on time, but if this war related to Iran prolongs, then they may face a big crisis and their jobs may also be in danger.
Why don’t Indians want to return?
According to Economic Times, Apna.co CEO Kartik Narayan says that Indian blue-collar workers earn between Rs 30 thousand to Rs 1 lakh every month in Gulf countries. At the same time, in India they get only about half the income. This is the reason why migrant workers are attracted towards these countries.
He said that about 90 lakh Indians are employed in blue-collar jobs in the Gulf countries, who are engaged in construction, oil, service sector and other labour-intensive work.
What could be the impact?
According to Fahran Azmi, founder of Futures Staffing Solutions, a company that sends people for work in Gulf countries, many workers have been asked to go on precautionary leave.
It is noteworthy that the joint attack by America and Israel on Iran and the subsequent retaliatory action by Tehran has increased the tension in the entire region. After this, there have been reports of drone attacks by Iran on America’s West Asian allies like UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
As of Wednesday, this conflict has entered the 19th day. In such a situation, experts have expressed apprehension that if this war continues for a long time, it may affect the jobs and income of millions of Indians working in Gulf countries.
