Hundreds of Qatar migrant workers including Indians ‘unpaid for months’

DOHA: As many as 400 migrant staff working for an electrical company in Qatar have gone unpaid for up to four months, a leading figure in the Indian community said

DOHA: As many as 400 migrant staff working for an electrical company in Qatar have gone unpaid for up to four months, a leading figure in the Indian community said today. The workers are set to meet the Indian ambassador in Doha within the next two weeks to discuss their plight, Arvin Patil of the Indian Community Benevolent Forum charity told AFP. The staff are thought to be employed by an Abu Dhabi-based firm. “Around 300 to 400 people have not been paid,” said Patil. “We could give money if there were one or two people but 300 minimum is very, very difficult. We are interested in helping these people.” Patil said people from other migrant groups based in the emirate had also not been paid by the firm.
