The Struggle of Punjabi boys in search of better future ends in misery latest news: In emotionally charged statement, Sukhpal Singh from Tanda hoshiarpur said he and more than a hundred others were subjected to harsh experiences after being deported from the Mexico border.
Singh said he and 103 other Punjabi boys were taken by police and army personnel and stayed in jail for 14 days, unaware that time was passing. The group, part of a larger contingent of around 1,000 Punjabi individuals including families and students, faced numerous hardships. The journey started on high hope but turned out to be a nightmare.
The group had crossed the border and were deported a few days later. Singh and others had faced extreme hardships, minimal food, and no security. Many were physically tortured, and their belongings were confiscated. No safety or protection was given to them. Singh said that he had spent much money on clothes and other essential items, which were all taken from him.
At first, Singh got Italy visa, but when their tickets showed them having extended layovers over there, it was becoming tough for people to travel further on the tickets. These groups were taken towards Latin America and were in difficulties , living without any food or shelter. Repeated calls to agents resulted in unclear assurances of solving the situation, and financial burdens continued as they requested further money from their families to address their situation.
The painful experience continued as the group spent hours in taxis and on a plastic boat across the sea and 40-45 kilometers while walking over 17-18 mountains, each step full of risk. Those who got hurt or became lost were deserted, making the emotional burden on the survivors even more immense.
Singh's story is a stark reminder of the insecurity of the 'Dunki' route, an illegal and dangerous pathway taken in hopes of a better life abroad. He urged others to avoid this unfaithful path and opt for legitimate means of travel. Singh's heartfelt plea is for everyone to pray for those still trapped in similar situations and to work towards ensuring no one else suffers the same fate.
Harvinder Singh said that during the journey to Dunki, two boys died in front of him. One die in the sea, and the other died in the jungle. While crossing the sea, the boat nearly sank. Harvinder Singh said that sometimes the agents used to give them food, but they mostly remained hungry for four days. In a tragic voice, Harvinder Singh also appealed to the government for their help.
