Indian community looks to Covid-hit home with sadness Share
Local Sikh and Baha’i people thankful for solidarity as coronavirus runs riot in their homeland
SHANNON has a significant Indian community and its members have been watching with trepidation as Covid-19 spreads throughout their home country.
Paramjit Neote first arrived into Shannon 33 years ago, and established a factory, Shannon Aircraft Motorworks, which he subsequently sold.
Some of its employees formed the first wave of people from India to live locally.
“When we set up in 1988 there was huge unemployment here, but then things changed very quickly after the Gulf War and there weren’t people available, so we brought 15-20 families here to work for our company and that was the first batch of Indians that came to Shannon,” he recalls.
