When a breadwinner was able to secure employment in the gulf, there came a time when families in desperate financial straits would start to recover. The gulf dream doesn't appear to be as simple as it once was, as many now succumb to the whims of high stress and linked conditions, passing away far too soon.
The number of people from the State who moved to Middle Eastern countries in quest of work and then ended their lives suddenly has increased. In the recent past, there have also been numerous instances of many of these migrant workers passing away from heart-related illnesses. Shivaiahgari Naveen, a young man from Yellareddypet in the Rajanna-Sircilla area, passed away in dubai during the second week of june following a heart attack. He had passed out while at work, and was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. His death was attributed by doctors to a heart attack. The instance of Mailaram Narsaiah from Dharmaram in the Konaraopet mandal is comparable. His heart attack occurred while he was employed at bahrain Municipality.

In the third week of june, Nagula Narsaiah from Kodumunja, Vemulawada urban mandal, too passed away in dubai after suffering a heart attack. In a different occurrence, in the final week of june, Babbi prasad from Amrad, Armoor mandal of nizamabad district, was discovered hanged in the bathtub of his accommodation in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Due to his rising debts, it is believed that he hanged himself to death.

In june, Puram Ramulu from Uppalwai in the Sadasivnagar mandal of nizamabad also passed away in Muscat, oman, due to a heart attack. Ramulu, a gulf native who had previously visited oman on a visit visa, ran into issues because she was unemployed. He also experienced health issues as a result of his lack of eating. Ramulu's friends had donated refuge after becoming moved by his predicament; Ramulu had been forced to sleep on the street due to a lack of shelter. Sadly, he passed away from a heart attack the very following day. Esaipet ravi from Adlur within the kamareddy municipal limits also passed away in dubai from a heart attack.

On the other hand, Vasala Naresh, a resident of Rajanna-Siriclla's Rudrangi mandal, was discovered hanging from a tree in his hometown on march 2 after feeling duped by an agent who had promised him a job in the Gulf. Naresh, a gulf returnee, attempted to travel for a third time and paid Rs. 1.5 lakh to a rural agent for a visa. He then went to an interview in chennai where the visa was rejected. At a panchayat of local elders, the agent had pledged to refund the money; however, he later declined to do so.

Since january of this year, there have been over 50 similar instances. These deaths have been attributed primarily to debts, stress, inadequate pay, work pressure, agent exploitation, loneliness, and health issues. The majority of immigrants to gulf nations borrow money from private individuals to cover costs such as visa, passport, and other charges. Since the bulk of them travel on visitor visas, they struggle to find employment and are forced to remain at home for extended periods of time. They would not be able to pay off their debts or send money to their family for living needs as a result. These people's stress levels are also rising due to the extreme heat and loneliness.
