Pratidin Bureau

The atmosphere at Delhi airport was filled with anger and frustration after a specially arranged non-scheduled flight carrying more than 325 deported Indians from Mexico reached the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Friday morning.

On reaching Delhi, the repatriated Indians narrated how theirtravel agents duped of their money and how helpless they were to follow theirinstructions inside treacherous Mexican forests as they wanted to reach theirdreamland at any cost.

Most of the repatriated Indians are Punjabi Sikhs who wereeither duped by their travel agents on the promise of entry into the US throughillegal means or were overconfident and not aware about the Mexican law thatpermits foreigners to work and reside there.

Withthe help of international travel agents, these Indians had illegally reachedMexico to enter the USA over the last few months, reports said. Punjab hasbecome the most attractive place for international agents as most of thePunjabi youths prefer to go to Canada or the US in search of a better lifeirrespective of their educational and technical qualification background.
