Delay in migrant repatriation due to lack of facilities in QC: Nimal Siripala

03 Feb 2021

Labor Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva says that the main reason for the delay in bringing in migrant workers to Sri Lanka is the lack of facilities in the Quarantine Centers (QC) to place them upon their arrival in Sri Lanka. "However, a special programme will be launched by the Bureau of Foreign Employment to expedite the repatriation of Sri Lankan migrant workers currently staying abroad in the hope of returning to Sri Lanka," he said. The Minister further stated that necessary steps will be taken to set up more quarantine centers in consultation with the National Operations Center for the Prevention of Covid-19 Outbreak. "Also, if there is any migrant worker in any country who is unable to obtain air tickets to return, they should report it immediately to the Sri Lankan Embassy in that country, or call the toll free number 800119119 of the Foreign Relations Division to provide such information," he said. The Minister instructed the Bureau of Foreign Employment to investigate the requests and verify the registration and identity of the passengers and take necessary action to purchase air tickets for them without delay. "Workers who have registered with the Bureau of Foreign Employment and gone abroad with insurance coverage should be given priority in the event of any compensation or allowance to be paid in the event of this disaster," he said.
