'Dunki route': Punjab norms for travel agents

The New Indian Express Coimbatore

|

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.

- HARPREET BAJWA @Chandigarh

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.
