The Bahrain Odias who were consistently communicating with relevant ministerial authorities of India are now heaving a sigh of relief. Thanking Mahaprabhu Jagannatha for this positive outcome, Founder of Bahrain Odia Samaj, Dr. Arun Kumar Praharaj said: “We are delighted that our repeated requests have been heard favourably and a second flight has been arranged at a reduced price. This is a big relief to stranded Odia migrants who have been unemployed since last 4 months. Our job isn’t over though. We will continue to support the stranded Odias in the Kingdom.”
