HYDERABAD: The Consulate General of India (CGI), Dubai, has helped a worker from Karimnagar who was in a helpless situation return home. Madishetty Srinivas was reunited with his family on July 8 in what came as a much relief to his wife Jamuna and family members after two years of agony.
The case of Srinivas is peculiar in the sense that he could not even remember his wife’s telephone number when he was found living on a pavement in Dubai. A Telugu man who noticed a starving Srinivas made a video of him. Srinivas was identified by the family which got to see the video after it was shared by social worker Patkuri Basanth Reddy.
Srinivas’s family was worried for him as he stopped calling them two years ago. They did not have any idea as to where he was and what he was doing in Dubai. But the video came as a relief as they hoped he would be helped to return to Karimnagar.
The CGI took care of Srinivas and worked out formalities to send him back to India. Srinivas was left without a job in Dubai after an agent cheated him. The Covid-19 situation made his situation worse. With no money and no one to help, he started living on the road and became disoriented. He could not recall any telephone number of the family.
“We are happy for the family that he has been helped to return to India by the embassy,” Basanth Reddy said.
