Saudi Arabia arrests over 3 lakh foreigners living illegally
Saudi Arabia has arrested over 3.3 lakh foreigners, most of them without residence or work permits, in a nationwide crackdown against violators of the Kingdom's residency and labour regulations. Over 65,000 detainees have been deported under the campaign which began in November last year. As many as 32 lakh Indians live in Saudi Arabia, forming the Kingdom's largest expatriate community.
