Death of Indian nationals should be reported immediately to the consulate to avoid delays in claiming the mortal remains from mortuaries, the Consulate-General of India, Dubai has said.
The advice comes after the mission has noticed that in some cases, the deaths of their citizens in Dubai and Northern Emirates are not reported swiftly.
"Normally, the information of the death first comes to employers, sponsors or family and friends of the deceased. Any delay in completing the local formalities by the employees/ sponsors causes additional burden on mortuaries and government facilities, especially during the current pandemic situation," said the consulate in a social media post on Sunday.
"It is reiterated that the mortal remains must be claimed expeditiously and their burial/cremation or repatriation completed at the earliest," it added.
Employers and sponsors can report the death of any Indian national under their sponsorship on the consulate's emergency number +971507347676 or on the email id deathregistration.dubai.mea.gov.in.
The consulate will issue clearance to take urgent steps to complete death-related formalities for performing last rites locally or in India as per family's authorisation.
"We also request family or friends of the deceased to inform the consulate about the same and provide their authorisation quickly. These steps are necessary to ensure a dignified end to a departed soul," said the consulate.
