162 Keralites from UAE return by chartered flight

Kochi: At least 162 Keralites in UAE, who did not have valid documents and were given general amnesty by the UAE government, will be returning to the state by a chartered flight from Dubai today.
The UAE government had given them outpass some days ago but they did not have money to purchase even their tickets. Following an initiative by Kairali Peoples Television, a Malayalam channel, their tickets were taken care of and the Air India chairman also provided a chartered flight to bring them to kerala, Kairali said in a press release here.
Some well known NRIs, including M K Group Managing Director M A Yousuf Ali, lent a helping hand by sponsoring several tickets.
