He came up with the information while addressing a press briefing at the ministry.
“Recently, we had a meeting with the Labour Minister of Saudi Arabia on the security of female workers. At the meeting, the Saudi government expressed its eagerness to take two lakh female workers.  Alongside, they’ll also take two lakh close male relatives of the female workers,” Nurul said.
Referring to the close relatives, the minister said husbands, brothers or cousins could get a chance to go with the female workers.
