Chandigarh, April 29 Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday said that 15 Indians being deported from Australia will arrive in Delhi, including 11 from Punjab, among whom is one woman, and asserted that the state government will receive them at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi while ensuring support for their rehabilitation and future livelihood.
Chief Minister Mann said, “Fifteen Indians being deported will arrive in Delhi, including 11 from Punjab, among them one woman.”
He added that eleven people from Punjab being deported from Australia will be received at Delhi Airport by the state government.
Emphasising the need for compassion and accountability, he said that these are all their own people who were misled by fraudulent agents and went abroad.
Highlighting the issue of fraudulent travel agents, Chief Minister Mann said that many innocent people fall into the trap of dubious travel agents who promise them the moon and send them abroad.
He added that these people leave with high hopes but are eventually deported, and the Punjab government is duty-bound to prevent such tragedies.
He further said that the government has been consistently working to rebuild trust among citizens so that they become active partners in the socio-economic progress of Punjab.
Reiterating the government’s commitment to providing opportunities within the state, Chief Minister Mann said that the government is making arrangements for employment so that no one is forced to go abroad in search of jobs.
Responding to a question, he said that after he met with the Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, the movement of foodgrains from Punjab has been expedited.
“It is a matter of immense pride and satisfaction that 290 special trains have been deployed to transport grains from the state, ensuring adequate storage space for the upcoming paddy crop,” he added.
