Aizawl, May 25: The Mizoram Police has started rescue operations to bring back three women of the state stuck in Syria. They were engaged as housemaids but are now facing serious hardship.

According to reports, they were sent in November 2022 to work as housemaid in Syria.

Meanwhile, the Indian Embassy in Syria has informed the state government about the matter.

A meeting of officials of the Embassy and the Syrian’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was held on May 19 and that a legal notice has been served to the employers of the Mizo housemaids.

Initially, the Syrian placement agency demanded a payment of $2,500 per housemaid for their early repatriation of Mizo housemaids as per the terms of the contract agreement.

However, due to the intervention from the Indian Embassy and Syrian authorities, the placement agency has agreed to arrange replacements.

Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma and Home Minister K. Sapdanga have taken this matter very seriously and are monitoring the cases.
