A top level delegation under the aegis of Sikh Council, United Kingdom, today visited historic Khalsa College Amritsar (KCA) here and asked the students to beware of the agents who were pushing the youth to the UK illegally.
They said the hoards of the youth including the girls were reaching the UK shores where they were living the miserable life for want of proper livelihood and getting exploited on foreign land.
Council’s general secretary Gurmail Singh addressed the students at the seminar hall of the College and showed a documentary film `Broken Dreams’, depicting the exploitation and poor conditions in which the youth were living in England. He said the students from Punjab go there for higher studies but due to lack of awareness and right knowledge, they get trapped in foreign country.
The condition of the girls he said was more deplorable and the youth are forced to live in the dingy and crowded places where they are held in poor conditions. ``The Gurdwara complexes are full of such youth and they could not accommodate more. The right visas and migration is the only answer and the youth should not be trapped in the false promises made by the illegal travel agents’’, said Gurmail Singh.
He along with Sikh Council Chief (Operations) Bibi Balvinder Kaur said that their delegation’s visut was aimed to create awareness amongst the youth through experiences of some people who enter or remain in UK `illegally’. ``We have released this documentary that depicts the reality of such destitute Panjabi youth in UK’’, she said. KCA Principal Dr.Daljit Singh honoured the delegation members on the campus and stated that the visit was highly fruitful for students who were benefitted from the ground realities in UK for those who were looking at it as a greener pasture.
