Dear friends,

Its with  great  grief  and  hope i bestow all of your kind attention  to the recent happenings in the indian community in Maldives.we know nobody wants  to separate  from their  kith and kin but  needs force him to seek opportunites in foreign land.

Geographically  Maldives  is  scattered in  indian ocean as nearly 200 inhabited  islands. in most  of  the  islands the main  conveyance is waterway only. some of the  islands are  deserted without any basic civic amenity.

WE have  lot of problems here , but  we also  cant  complain much because  it is our option to  continue  here. 

But Its true that those people who are struggling in Maldives as doctors teachers ,nurses and other contract workers are not at all a matter before our respected government representatives. Last year Bank of  Maldives blocked  the  access of  international visacard  of  all expatriats. it  was  a great inconvenience  for those  people  who were not  in the  capital city Male, and other few  well developed  islands. when this  matter  brought  to  the attention  of our Honourable  Indian high commission and  our deligates, they were  helpless as it was   the internal matter of a foreign  bank. its  ok .But  recently the  decision taken by our State Bank Of India really  gave  a disaterous  blow on  the dreams  of poor indian. last year itself  they limited 1000 USD as the amount one person can sent  to india. But now  that is  again limited  as 500 USD per mnth. the  exchange  rate  also will lesser than  the  current  international ratings. they have  their own excuses and policies. We Are  getting  the salary in  currency of  maldives but  when we  approach  to  western  union  or  any  other  money sending institutions we are forced  to  remit the  amount in US Dollars. so the  only sort  to sent  money is  through sbi .in this  juncture  we  need  the support of  all of  you. The matter is already published  in mathrubhoomi daily

Iam sure  that  we have our own voice and power in the community  So my dear  friends please  discuss it in our  forum and please support this paralyzed  Indian community.
