The UK grapples with a 76% decline in healthcare worker visa applications amid tightened immigration rules, leaving Indian care workers vulnerable to deportation. Many, promised jobs that don't exist or below minimum wages, are stranded, unable to find new employment that adheres to visa regulations. The National Council of Gujarati Organisations advocates for these workers, urging government intervention. An online petition garners traction, demanding action as affected families face imminent upheaval. The Home Office acknowledges the issue, signaling a wider concern over UK immigration policy and its impact on international workers and students.
