AMRITSAR: Philanthropic organisation Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust (SDBCT) team returned to Sri Guru Ram Dass Ji International Airport on Friday—just four days after their last visit—to receive the mortal remains of yet another Indian migrant worker who died in Dubai. As with countless similar cases, the team was accompanied by the grief-stricken family of the deceased and provided free transportation of the body to the native village for final rites. This time, it was Ranjit Singh, a 40-year-old resident of Gill Manjh village near Batala in Gurdaspur district, whose dreams of securing a better future for his family abroad ended in tragedy. According to his family, Ranjit was working in Dubai for the past four years when he died of cardiac arrest at work on July 4. His mortal remains arrived today at the Amritsar airport, where the Punjab unit of the Trust village Sarpanch Sukhdev Singh received the body in the presence of his mourning family. The body was then transported to his native village in a free ambulance provided by the Trust, which also facilitated the necessary formalities. Speaking about the arrival of Ranjit Singh's body , SP Singh Oberoi, Managing Trustee, SDBCT, said that the Gurdaspur team will assess the family's financial situation, and based on the findings, a monthly pension will be arranged for Ranjit's widow. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo This marks the second such incident in less than a week.
