The Central and State governments are ignoring the plight of NRI returnees, former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has said.
He was speaking on Saturday after inaugurating the Pravasi Bharat Diwas organised by the Kerala Pradesh Pravasi Congress.
Thousands of NRIs returned to India after losing their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Scarcely anything was done for their proper rehabilitation. In Kerala, many of the schemes launched by the previous United Democratic Front (UDF) government through NORKA had been halted, Mr. Chandy said.
