Hyderabad, Jan 31, 2013: Fifty Telugu migrant workers, who were held up in Dubai for a few months unable to return to Andhra Pradesh due to being penniless, returned to Hyderabad Wednesday night thanks to the initiative taken by the NRI wing of the YSR Congress Party.

A team of leaders led by Medapati Venkat, YSRCP NRI wing convener, left for Dubai and handed over them flight tickets for their return journey to India. Party Central Governing Council member K. K. Mahender Reddy arranged the flight tickets on behalf of the party.

Mahender Reddy said it was unfortunate that both the Central and the state governments have abandoned the migrant workers to their fate even though they were granted pardon by the UAE Government.

The team who flew to Dubai consisted of Medapati Venkat, Jitta Ramachandra Reddy, Peddisetti Prasad, Kala, Anand, Ramesh Reddy, Sai Reddy and Brahmananda Reddy.
