The
Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs launched an
online portal for Transportation of Mortal Remains (TMR) of Indians on 12
August, 2014 which can be accessed from the website of the Ministry, www.moia.gov.in and emigrate.gov.in. An applicant (relative or friend of
the deceased) can register or report death case of an Indian worker in 18 Emigration
Check Required (ECR) countries, namely: Malaysia, Jordan, UAE, Yemen, Lebanon,
Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Indonesia,
Libya, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, and Thailand. Such requests are submitted
automatically through the TMR system to the concerned Mission, where the
deceased has died. Officials in Indian Missions can also register or report
death cases of Indian workers in the TMR portal on behalf of the deceased. The
TMR system facilitates the return of the mortal remains of deceased Indian
nationals to India, with the assistance of the concerned Indian Missions.
The TMR portal has been linked with the
Overseas Workers Resource Centre (OWRC). Those who cannot fill the information
directly on it can take the assistance of OWRC on their toll free no.
1800-11-3090 to register the request for transportation of mortal remains. OWRC
is equipped to attend calls in eleven languages viz., English, Hindi, Bengali,
Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Oriya & Gujarati. The
caller can also ascertain from OWRC, the status of any grievance submitted on
the TMR portal.
As reported by Indian Missions/Posts
abroad, the number of Indians who died in various foreign countries during the
last three years, country and year-wise are enclosed as Annexure-A.
