"We are making our little contributions from office for him. I don't think there is more help coming from the company. He is yet to receive his insurance claim. I hope help reaches him," one of the company staff said.

Couple stares at uncertain future
Singh's wife Rajwinder Kaur flew in on a visit visa last month from Punjab. She is devastated and clueless about paperwork needed to get insurance amount.

"We have stopped schooling of our children as paying fees isn't possibile now.

They stay with my relatives now. We had taken loan back in Jalandhar to build a small house and are unable to pay it back now. I don't know what to do or whom to meet. This is a new country and unfamiliar situation," Rajwinder said while breaking down.

Singh is still hopeful there will be some respite coming for him.

"My life has ended but I want to secure lives of my children. I hope the UAE and Indian governments see my plight.

"We are clueless about the way forward. I can't sign papers or hold onto a walking stick. I can't take a step or hug my kids anymore. I am as good as dead," Singh said.
