'Dunki route': Punjab norms for travel agents
The New Indian Express Villupuram
|July 11, 2025
WITH illegal travel agents mushrooming across Punjab and youth being lured and duped on the pretext of sending them abroad, the Punjab Government has made it mandatory for licensed agents to file monthly self-declarations with the respective Deputy Commissioners regarding visa advertisements issued by them.
The advisory, following a directive from the Union Ministry of External Affairs, relates to checking violations of the Emigration Act by agents licensed under the Punjab Travel Professionals Regulation (PTPR) Act, 2012. It aims to keep a constant tab on the agents' activities and apprehend illegal agents or fly-by-night operators who lure the youngsters by offering them assistance related to 'work visas' or 'work permits' or 'employment visas' through social media.
