Government sources say that almost 20 per cent of an estimated 18,000 Indians in Libya have been evacuated. But 80 per cent are still there. They have no money to come back. Many could not even receive their salary. Tarlochan Singh from Punjab is one of them. He and his friends are trapped somewhere in Libya. His parents are appealing to Indian Government for his safe return to India.

 

Tarlochan belongs to a Panjabi family. Many from his village work in Arab countries, especially in Libya. When unrest increased in Libya and Indian government called back all Indians, Tarlochan also packed his luggage. Due to the unrest he could not get his salary. Now he has no option but to wait for the government to take him back to his family.  His family got a phone call of Tarlochan that he would come in ten days. During conversation with family, Singh told them that he was hungry from some days and the company in which he was working had not paid him salary. Family is poor enough to arrange money for Tarlochan and asking government to help Tarlochan. Singh's father Ajaib Singh, mother Pritam Kaur and wife Surinder Kaur is hoping for his safe return.
