A Telangana migrant worker who was facing difficulties in Dubai has safely returned to India following the intervention of CM Prajavani.

Budla Pentaji, a native of Binola village in Navipet mandal, Nizamabad district, was a construction worker with Aroma International Building Contracting LLC in Dubai. Due to lack of proper training and experience, demanding work conditions and long working hours, he developed serious health problems.

Moreover, the cost of returning to India was estimated at over ₹90,000, which his financially disadvantaged family could not afford.

In this regard, his wife, Budla Pushpa, approached CM Prajavani State In-charge and State Planning Board Vice-Chairperson Gadwal Vijayalakshmi on October 9, 2026, requesting her intervention to bring her husband back home safely.

Responding to the appeal, Vijayalakshmi took the initiative and coordinated with the Telangana NRI Department and the Indian Consulate in Dubai to facilitate his safe return. Budla Pentaji safely reached Hyderabad on October 23.
