Grievances are also responded through various channels like calls, walk-ins, e-mails, social media, 24×7 helplines and ‘Open Houses’. To enable the diaspora to register their grievances, the government has provided online portals such as MADAD and e-Migrate,” the Minister said.

If the issue pertains to the state governments in India, then it is taken up with them for resolution. Financial and legal assistance to distressed Indians, if necessary, is provided through the Indian Community Welfare Fund (ICWF). These issues are also raised during meetings with the concerned countries, at appropriate level ,” said the reply.
