8 Indians stranded off UAE cry for help

The ship was detained by the UAE coast guard on April 15 and the passports and seaman books of the sailors were confiscated. “It is as if we are slaves who have been abandoned. We are living pathetic lives and are unable to return home as we have not been given a sign off by the management. Our salaries are also pending for several months,” Captain Ayyapan Swaminathan told TOI on phone.
