Vikramjit Singh Sahney, Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha urges DGP Punjab to take strict action against Illegal agents who are already banned by the Government of India but are still functioning in Punjab.

He said that he is impressed with the action which the Special Task Force of Punjab Police is taking by lodging prompt FIRs and arrests of the unscrupulous agents of the girls coming back from Oman under our initiative Mission Hope.

The police themselves are contacting these girls and getting their statements in a very positive and comfortable environment without any delay or irregularities.

Sahney reveals that the Ministry of External Affairs has issued a list of Illegal Recruiting Agents of those whom they found fraudulent and have made a Ban on them. The list has 170 Recruiting Agents from Punjab.

“When we got to know that few of these Recruiting agents are still active and they are running their business again, My Parliamentary office conducted a sting operation in which we reached out to these Banned Recruiting Agents seeking employment opportunities abroad, most of them readily accepted to assist by taking their respective fees. This was a shocking revelation for me as it’s a serious crime that banned recruiting agents that are still functioning in the state of Punjab,” Sahney added.

Sahney also said that he has sent the entire list of Illegal Recruiting agents to the Director General of Police Mr. Gaurav Yadav. The list consists of information on all 170 Banned Recruiting agents with their respective addresses and Phone numbers and have requested for strict action against these unscrupulous illegal recruiting agents.

Sahney added that he is committed to bring home every son and daughter of Punjab who is stuck in foreign countries under his initiative Mission Hope, but it is equally important that the outflow of our innocent youth to foreign countries through these fraudulent agents should stop otherwise it will always remain a vicious cycle.
