Body comes to India from Saudi after 3 months of ordeal

November 16, 2016

Dammam: Three months ago construction labourer Bhoomanandan from Telangana met with an accident during work and later succumbed to death. Indian Social Forum (ISF) successfully managed to repatriate the mortal remains to his family after three month long legal ordeal.

The victim was working as painter in a construction site when the tragedy took place. He had earlier absconded from his local sponsor and was working in the kingdom without any legal document. His local sponsor declared him absconding “Huroob” which is a punishable offence in the kingdom and it was nearly impossible for Bhoomanandan to return home without facing imprisonment.

After his death, there were many hurdles to cremate him in the kingdom or to repatriate the body back home. Son of late Bhoomanandan is also employed in the kingdom and approached Indian Social Forum (ISF) Karnataka chapter for help in his legal struggle

ISF held a series of discussion with local sponsor of Bhoomanandan and convinced him to withdraw ‘Huroob” or absconding case only after the sponsor was satisfied by the team he agreed to revert the absconding case registered against Bhavannada and was ready to provide all legal documentation which helped in clearing the legal procedures.

ISF also coordinated and cleared all required documents from Hospital, Local Police authorities, Indian Embassy; Documents needed from India and required documentation by airlines to shift the body.

Mortal remains of Bhoomanandan were cremated according to Hindu rituals at his home town. Dammam Central Hospital Management helped ISF in getting discount in Hospital bills. ISF also thanked airline staff, Indian Embassy and district administration back home for assisting and guiding us.

Members of ISF community development wing Mohammed Shamsuddin,Ibrahim Krishnapura, Zakriya, Abdul Khadar Andhra Pradesh under the leadership of Naushad katipala successfully completed the task.

Dr Syed Anwar Khursheed, one of the longest-serving Indian physicians in Saudi Arabia, was honored with the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award on Friday, the highest honor conferred by India's president on nationals based overseas. Dr. Khursheed, born in Gulbarga, Karnataka, has dedicated over 40 years of his life to the Kingdom. He served for three decades at King Faisal Hospital in Taif and nearly a decade as a Royal Protocol physician in Riyadh. His work extended to the COVID-19 response and overseeing critical care operations for Hajj pilgrims.

In addition to his medical career, Dr. Khursheed has made significant contributions to education, founding the International Indian School in Taif and providing guidance for other schools catering to the Indian community in Saudi Arabia.

The Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award, established in 2003, celebrates exceptional contributions of overseas Indians in various fields, including medicine, community service, and education. Dr. Khursheed was among 27 recipients of this year's award and the only one from Saudi Arabia. He received the honor from President Droupadi Murmu.

India’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Suhel Ajaz Khan, highlighted Dr. Khursheed’s distinguished 45-year career in public healthcare and his role in the Medical Protocol Department of the Royal Saudi Family for eight years. He also oversaw critical care during the Hajj program at Minah and Arafat.

Khan emphasized that the award recognizes Dr. Khursheed’s outstanding contributions to medical science, healthcare, and the welfare of the Indian community in Saudi Arabia, marking a moment of great pride for the Indian diaspora in the Kingdom.

DC congratulates

Kalaburgi Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate Fauziya Taranum B has congratulated Dr Syed Anwar Khursheed for the prestigious award.

“I appreciate your contribution towards education and healthcare. It’s a very proud moment for Kalaburgi district,” the DC said.
