In what is likely to snowball into a diplomatic tussle between the two countries, it has now come to light that over 2000 Indian workers have either lost their jobs in the Maldives or were denied employment visas to work there in the last three months. According to reports, the Immigration Department in the Maldives had recently denied employment visas to nearly 300 Indian workers, who were hired by a Singapore-based company working in the Island nation. The company is engaged in the construction of a modernised airport in Male, the reports said.
