7 Punjab youths duped in Kazakhstan, appeal for help

They claim they have been forced into hard labour under inhuman conditions and have sent SOS messages to their families, appealing for help to return safely.

Sources said a travel agent from Anandpur Sahib sent the youth to Kazakhstan about a month ago, promising them jobs as drivers. Instead, they reportedly became carriers of heavy loads over long distances in mountainous areas and live in cramped metal containers without proper food or safety measures.
