Three Indian sailors, who had been stranded on separate ships for over three years, were finally able to fly home, the diplomatic mission of India in Dubai announced on Twitter on Tuesday.
Sailors Zubair Khan (on board AB1), Harender (on board MV Ocean Grace) and Mohammed Shakeel (on board MT Dharma) have been living in their vessels since 2015. After months of suffering without timely pay, the three men had been repatriated to their respective cities in India.
