Kuwait: INDIAN LAWYERS SOCIETY (INLAWS) Kuwait, a Professional Society of Indian Lawyers and law graduates working in Kuwait, submitted a Memorandum to Hon. Member of Indian Parliament Mr. Kodikkunnil Suresh and sought his attention in regard to solving grievances and relief relate to NRI families and their properties in India.

The Memorandum was handed over to Hon MP Mr Kodikkunnil Suresh by Advocate Jacob Varghese along with President Adv. Razak M Payyoli, General Secretary Adv Anas Puthiyottil, Treasurer Adv Truman, Adv Stanley Mathew John and Adv Gafoor.

An NRI is living abroad by leaving his family including aged parents, wife, children and their properties in India. There were many mishaps, offenses, bad incidents of crimes, trespass or issues related to his family or property etc of an NRI is not attended or secure especially in the absence of a grievance cell for the purpose. Hence, inorder to live secure in abroad without worries of their families and properties under their constitutional right to live and right to property, INLAWS Kuwait appeal to Central as well as all State governments to open a Help desk, grievance cell or a NRI Police Unit to attend 24 hour online complaints of NRI’s. Upon receiving a complaint regarding any crimes or offences, it should be registered with number as a complaint and forward to the concerned police station or authority for inquiry and for further action with acknowledgement to the complainant NRI. This will help to get justice.

The Memorandum requests support from Government by the way ofsetting up an online complaint registration and report lodging system and 24 hour telephone hotline service from the concerned State police department so as to address various security and social issues NRI’s are facing in India. This will be a great help for NRI community from Government for the peaceful maintenance and support for their family and property in the state as there is no such machinery is working now.

The criminal activities and other social evil in general is alarmingly increased in recent years and most of the NRI homes in the States has only elderly members including women and children as inmates.NRI’s often face time delay in submitting their complaints and further delay to rectify and solve such matters since there are no such machinery now.
