Chandigarh , 2 Nov
District Magistrate in Chandigarh has taken strict action against travel agents. New orders issued to crack down on travel agents who commit fraud in the name of sending money abroad. All the agents have been ordered to conduct verification within 4 weeks and action has also been given for the violators. These orders will be in force from October 29 to December 27, 2024.
According to the orders issued by the District Magistrate, some travel agents are cheating people in the name of giving them visas or sending them abroad. They cheat the gullible people of Chandigarh and neighboring states by printing misleading advertisements in leading newspapers. After some time they close their offices in the city. The network of these travel agents who cheat innocent people of crores of rupees in the name of sending them abroad is spread all over Chandigarh and Punjab.
It is impossible for a common citizen to get out of the trap of these travel agents. After defrauding thousands of people of crores of rupees, these travel agents have set out to rob the gullible public again by creating their new company.
The cyber cell of the police says that any travel agent or immigration company people contact to go abroad, they should first know whether the travel agent is registered with the local administration and whether it has police verification locally. Is there a police station or not? A travel agent or immigration company must do this. Company cannot operate in Punjab without local administration or police verification.
