Over 120 Indian workers, including five from Sitamarhi district, are currently stranded in Jordan. The company where they were employed has shut down, leaving them without their wages. Additionally, their visas and passports have been confiscated, making it impossible for them to return home. In a video plea, the workers are requesting the Indian government’s assistance in repatriating them.

Along with more than 120 Indians, there are also a significant number of workers from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. The information reveals that around 500 workers from India and neighboring countries are currently stuck there. Some of these workers have friendly relations with India.
