With a view to helping the relatives and friends of those deceased abroad, the Union Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs (MOIA) has launched a tool on the Ministry’s website >www.moia.gov.in .
“It also helps in tracking the status of the application. All the District Collectors have been asked to publicise this facility in their respective districts,” an official of the Andhra Pradesh Government said on Tuesday.
This online module will help the kin to apply online for transportation of mortal remains of the deceased emigrant in any of the ECR (Emigration Check Required) countries. The application will be directed to the Indian Missions in the country for processing and initiate measures to transport the mortal remains to India.
