Qatar Indian Social Forum (QISF) helps 23-year old Bengal boy save his job
Qatar: A 23-year old youth Minharul Hoque, hailing from Solpada village of Bahranpur of Murshidabad District in West Bengal came to Qatar in December last year on a work visa provided by a cleaning company, where he would work as a helper.
According to the regulations of Qatar laws an employee working in Qatar should compulsorily undergo medical test and acquire clearance from the Ministry of Health, Qatar to be fit to work in the country. The employers are bound to make sure their employees have cleared the test.
However, the employer of Minharul Hoque neglected the regulation and put him on work with going for a medical test before his appointment. Minharul later failed to clear the medical test as some medical issues were detected in his x-rays. The medical officer who examined Minharul Hoque advised him to undergo treatment in hospital and re-apply for the medical test.
The employer however, did not allow treatment to the 23-year old and instead asked him to go back to India. Minharul, given the fact that he had availed loan to get the work visa and had not repaid it yet did not wanted to return back to India.
He met Abdul Azeem of Qatar Indian Social Forum (QISF) in a local mosque and explained the hardship he was going through in the gulf country.
Abdul Azeem after getting in touch with QISF Central Committee Abdul Lathif Madakeri contacted the employer of Minharul and tried to negotiate the situation while explaining the details of debts and loans Minharul to them.
The PRO of the company initially rejected their request to allow Minharul to undergo treatment but agreed when the QISF committed to bear all the expense of his treatment.
“QISF team comprising of Imtiyaz Karnad, Mohsin Mangalore, Zubair Manjeshwar arranged for free medical treatment to Minharul and helped him get treated for the medical issues he had. He has now successfully recovered and was declared medically fit to work in Qatar by the authorities. He has also rejoined his employer who allowed him to continue work as per the company rules” a press release from QISF added.
Minharul’s family expressed their gratitude on such a gesture by the QISF and thanked the entire QISF team.
