During the session, Indian workers will be able to discuss any consular problem, submit applications, discuss labor-related issues, seek guidance from embassy officials or take up any other issue that affects the community.

Surinder Bhagat, a spokesman for the Indian Embassy in a statement, said that the open house is an initiative launched by Indian Ambassador Hamid Ali Rao with the primary mission to solve the problems of Indian expatriates on a priority basis.

Those workers who need to sort out their issues with their sponsors or have cases with the local authorities, can also participate in the open house, where they will be guided by the senior embassy officials.

The statement also said that embassy is also active in labor disputes between workers and Saudi sponsors through amicable negotiations, correspondence with Saudi sponsors and the local authorities.
