BHUBANESWAR: Seven Odia youths from
Ganjam, Khurda and Kendrapada district are reportedly languished in South
Arabia. The youths were being harassed physically and mentally by a
Dammam-based Aljaharin Company in the country, said one among the seven youths while
talking to his family members over telephone on Wednesday.
The youth Sanjay Barik and Rabi Barik
of Kaithada village under Khalikote block in Ganjam district also said over

mental pressure. Out of the total seven persons, two persons belonged to Ganjam
district, three from Khurda and two from Kendrapada district, they informed.
According to Sanjay, they were sent
to the company by a Bhubaneswar-based private organisation five months ago.
When they went there and started working in the company, they faced many
problems like over duty. The company forced them to work in other trade for

persons- Kanduri Mali of Ghiakhala area, Gagan Kumar Parida of Umakantapur under
Balugaon police station limit and Narayan Pradhan of Mali Gobindapur under
