The condition of 18 members of the crew of the Indian merchant vessel
(Merchant Ship), Maharishi Vamadeva, which has been stopped since June last
year on the Fujairah port of the UAE, is becoming worse every day. Captain of
the ship told that the weight of crew members is falling rapidly, they are in
tension and they have been caught by many diseases.
Fujairah Port authorities stopped
the gas carrier ship, Maharishi Vamadeva, for not paying the outstanding
amount allegedly by its owner Varun Global.
Captain Kumar Krishna of the
ship told from Fujairah on email and whatsapp that essential items such as food
and water are not being provided to the crew members and their full pay is not
given.
Captain said that the electrical
officer Jitendra Kumar Pandey was taken out on the medical basis two days
before the chest pain on June 4.
Krishna now worried about the
remaining 18 crew members and they are all Indians. Krishna said that the
health of crew members is getting worse every day. We are not being paid, there
is no result to request the authorities several times.
Members of the family members and
others have written to the various officials including the Indian Embassy and
the Foreign Ministry in the United Arab Emirates for the purpose of
intervention.
According to an email sent to the
Indian and UAE officials, symptoms of mental retardation appear in one person.
Captain
Rajesh Desiwal, CEO of Darya Shipping Agency, Gurgaon said that some crew
members are also suffering from smallpox diseases and the news is also being
reported that the members are losing weight fast.
