12 Indian labourers stranded in Kyrgyzstan

The families said the workers — identified as Ravi Kumar, Ajay, Chandrapal, Santram, Rohit, Ramesh, Harswaroop, Shyamcharan, Sanjeev, Prempal, Ramasare and Harishankar — had been sent to Kyrgyzstan nearly three months ago by agents running a local recruitment agency. Each worker reportedly paid about Rs 2.5 lakh, and was sent on a 59-day visa with “misleading contracts”, relatives claimed.
