HYDERABAD: An 800km padayatra being undertaken to demand an NRI policy for Telangana reached Rajanna Sircilla district on Wednesday.
The long march was undertaken by Gulf Workers Awareness Centre Krishna Donikeni, who had earlier worked in Dubai. In the 24 days of the padayatra so far, 516 km have been covered.
“It is a sad situation for workers who go to the Gulf to take up jobs. Some are cheated. Some are thrown out of employment. Many also commit suicide. For this very reason, we are demanding a comprehensive NRI policy that will benefit workers,” Donikeni said. The GWAC has been conducting awareness programmes in the Gulf for workers every Friday.
