‘Follow legal routes to go abroad’: MEA’s protector general of emigrants tells Punjab youth
The MEA launches an awareness program on ‘Safe and Legal Mobility’ in Jalandhar.
Speaking on the occasion, Yashu Deep Singh said similar programs will soon be conducted in other districts of Punjab. (Source: Express Photo) The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Friday urged the youth to follow legal channels for migration instead of falling prey to illegal agents or unauthorised routes to go abroad.
Addressing an awareness program on ‘Safe and Legal Mobility’ held in Jalandhar, Surinder Bhagat, Protector General of Emigrants (PGE), MEA, said that anyone aspiring to work or study abroad must verify the credentials of travel agents and recruiting agencies before taking any step.
“Young people must ensure they take safe and legal routes to go abroad. Following proper procedures protects them from fraud and exploitation,” Bhagat added.
The program – the first of its kind in Punjab – was organised by the Central Bureau of Communication (CBC), Jalandhar, Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, in association with the Protectorate of Emigrants, Chandigarh. It aimed to enhance public awareness about safe and informed overseas employment opportunities and to caution aspiring migrants against irregular migration and fraudulent employment offers.
