As first home minister and also labour minister of Telangana, Narsimha Reddy seriously attempted to address the middlemen / agent system in recruiting for abroad. In his capacity as chairman of Telangana Overseas Manpower Company (TOMCOM) he held wide range meetings with employers in Kuwait, Bahrain, and United Arab Emirates. Unlike other leaders who change their attire in foreign visits, Reddy was sticking to his favourite white dhoti whether in Dubai or New York. He was the only Indian delegate who attended an important conference held in Dubai in 2016 in his traditional attire. His speech, where he discussed the migrant youth issue, had won the praise from all including UAE officials.
