The workers, who took up their case with the labour court here, have been assured by the UAE Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs that they can transfer their sponsorship if they are able to find other jobs in the UAE.

The Consular, Labour Affairs, at the Indian Embassy here told Business Line that efforts are under way to facilitate transfer of sponsorship for those Indian workers who can find other jobs.
