Body of Punjab youth who died of heart attack in Dubai back home
Amritsar: The mortal remains of Dharambir (26), a resident of Lehara village near Garhshankar in Hoshiarpur district, arrived at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, Amritsar, from Dubai on Thursday. SPS Oberoi, managing trustee of philanthropic organisation Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust, said Dharambir had been working as a labourer in Dubai for five years, striving to support his family and secure a better future—much like many other young Indians working abroad. According to the family, Dharambir suddenly fell ill and was admitted to a hospital, where he passed away due to a heart attack on July 17. The remains were received at Amritsar airport by the trust's Punjab team in the presence of the bereaved family. The body was then transported to his native village using the trust's free ambulance service, said Oberoi. Oberoi added the trust had so far facilitated the repatriation of the mortal remains of around 419 youth who died overseas. It was not yet clear whethere the body had been cremated or not. As the family was unable to bring the body back on its own, the trust stepped in after it came to know about their plight. The trust has been carrying out such work across the world for Indians abroad.
