Mangaluru : Two youths from coastal Karnataka, who were stuck in Saudi Arabia after they were forced to work in a farm without salary for nearly five months, are all set to return to India.

Damodar Shettigar, 31, a native of Gandhinagar in Ganjimat, and Puneeth Jayaraj, 25, of Mulky near Mangaluru, who reached Saudi Arabia on December 20, 2016 with visas to work as auto spray painters, had to work in a farm to look after sheep and camel. A social media campaign the duo launched through whatsapp from the farm by contacting his friends and mediapersons in Mangaluru and Saudi Arabia yielded result.

Indian Social Forum (ISF), an organisation of Indians in Saudi Arabia, left no stones unturned to see that two of them are rescued and sent back to Mangaluru safely.
