Chennai: When Revathi, 40, a resident of Chinna Kancheepuram went to Malaysia in September last year to work as a maid there, her children never thought that their mother would disappear without a trace. Their situation worsened when their father, Raghunathan, a guide in a temple in Kancheepuram died last November and their grandmother Paramila passed away 10 days ago.
Now, with nobody to bank on, the three children are planning to seek the help of state government to track their mother, from whom they have not received any message despite informing her employer about the two deaths in the family. A five-figured salary and a better future for her children reportedly encouraged Revathi to take up the offer given by a travel agent. Her husband, Ragunathan, 45, who worked as a guide in the Kancheepuram Varadha Raja Perumal temple was not earning enough to cater to the family needs.
When the children contacted Revathi to inform her their father’s sudden death (due to illness), she told them about ill-treatment and the deprivation of her salary. “They said that my pay will be received on completion of six months here,” she told her children. She was also restricted while talking to her family.
The three children- Swetha, a catering student, Sriram who studies in a Veda school and Sanjay Kumar, who is in the tenth class, learnt the magnitude of the situation when their mother could not be contacted when their grandmother died last month. They will lodge a complaint on Wednesday at the Kancheepuram Collectorate and the district SP office, seeking help.
