Distraught without his family after his wife’s sudden death, 90-year-old Bholanath Lahiri arrived in Melbourne earlier this year to spend time with his son’s family.
Little did he know at the time of travelling that a flying visit to see his grandchild would turn into an endless cycle of “anxiety and uncertainty,” for him and his family.

Mr Lahiri's family claims he needs immediate medical attention
Speaking to SBS Punjabi, his son, Surajit Lahiri says being away from his familiar surroundings is “severely” affecting his father’s mental and physical well-being.
“He is under a lot of stress. He is neither eating nor sleeping properly and I am extremely worried as his health is deteriorating with every passing day,” says Mr Lahiri.

The 48-year-old claims he has been running from pillar to post to facilitate his father’s return ever since the borders were closed.
“The Indian government did not give us sufficient time to arrange for flight tickets. And for passengers like my father who have serious health issues, it isn’t feasible to travel on a day’s notice,” he says.
The IT professional claims he is “appalled” by the Indian government’s attitude towards its own citizens.
“I am disgusted with their apathetic response to my repeated queries about repatriation flights. We still have no idea as to when a flight would be sent to Australia,” he says.
Tired after getting “standard responses” from the Indian government, Mr Lahiri turned to the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trades for help.
In his letter, Mr Lahiri urged DFAT to allow his father to board one of the Qantas flights being sent to India to bring Australian citizens and residents home.

DFAT, however, encouraged him to contact Qantas directly and advised him to continue to stay in touch with the Indian High Commission in Canberra for any news on repatriation flights.
India has launched a ‘Vande Bharat Mission’, a massive evacuation operation, using its national carrier, Air India and its naval ships to bring home overseas citizens whose lives have been turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nearly 15,000 Indians are expected to make their way home on these special flights from 12 countries in the coming days, including the US, the UK and UAE. But Australia is currently not on that list.
Mr Lahiri says his elderly father has multiple underlying health conditions that need to be addressed by his doctors at home in Kolkata in eastern India.
“He has chronic kidney disease and requires dialysis every few months which is now long overdue. He also has diabetes and other health concerns a person his age usually develops," he says.

Surajit says his father came with a large stock of medicines to last him for two months more than his planned stay as a cautionary measure. But now he is left with only a few days’ supply of his life-saving medication.
“We are fast running out of his medicines and injections. And the local GPs here are not willing to prescribe him generic drugs because of his age even when I am willing to pay for it.
“But I am most concerned about his renal condition. If that gets any worse, even the insurance that he has wouldn’t come to our rescue as insurance companies don’t cover for any pre-existing health conditions,” he adds.

‘Relief’ for Indians stuck in Australia as government announces ambitious plan to repatriate citizens stranded abroad
According to the government figures, India’s External Affairs Ministry has so far received nearly 68,000 requests from citizens wanting to return home.
A majority of those requests have been made by international students and migrant workers stranded abroad. While more than 5,500 people with medical emergencies have also registered their interest to return home on a priority basis.
People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others. Check your state’s restrictions on gathering limits.

Pinky screws Sinkies, so perhaps he meant that he will also screw CECA FTs equally hard.

700,000 foreign migrant workers excluding maids in singapore. this addiction to cheap labour to drive growth has to stop.
it is clear we have reached tipping point. if there were a community outbreak now, our resources would be overwhelmed, the workers interests will be placed second to citizens and you can be sure they will riot.
now its starting to make sense why the government is shit scared to re-open the economy. our resources have been maxed out to deal with the dorm crisis and we have no spare capacity to deal with community outbreaks.
catch-22 indeed, and all from their own doing. this is what happens under one party rule, and they still refuse to see the error of their ways. the PAP of today will doom our country.
