Headline: US Deportations Surge: Punjab, Haryana Bear Brunt
Over 1,700 Indians deported from the US between January and July this year, a significant rise prompting urgent action from the Indian government. The majority of those deported hailed from Punjab and Haryana.
The Indian government is actively engaging with its US counterpart to address concerns surrounding the treatment of deportees. Discussions are focused on ensuring humane and fair procedures.
The issue of student visas is also a key component of the ongoing dialogue. Reports of difficulties securing visas have raised concerns amongst aspiring Indian students.
Significantly, student visa appointments are now open, offering some relief to those planning to pursue higher education in the US.
This escalating situation demands close monitoring. The impact on families and communities in Punjab and Haryana, coupled with the implications for educational exchange, necessitates a swift and effective resolution. The government’s proactive engagement is crucial to mitigating the fallout and ensuring the rights of Indian citizens abroad are protected.
