Pravasi Legal Cell submits a Memorandum to MEA citing concerns over Illegal Emigration

-
Pravasi Legal Cell has submitted a memorandum to the Ministry of External Affairs expressing concern over illegal emigration happening from various places in the country and requesting the Central Government to take necessary actions to address this matter.
In the memorandum, Legal Cell has highlighted many instances of illegal emigration that have happened in the recent years. Among them, is the recent case of illegal emigration that took place from the Munambham Harbor in the state of Kerala in the month of January 2019.
It is learned that many people including women and children were trafficked in a fishing Boat named “Deva Matha”. It is assumed that they are taken to foreign countries without undergoing emigration processes and taking necessary safety precautions. The exact number of victims remains unknown, but is estimated to be about 150.
Memorandum also mentions about a few more instances of illegal emigration and the case of online duping in the name of foreign recruitment.
In this background, Pravasi Legal Cell has requested the Ministry of External Affairs to take necessary steps to 1) curb instances of illegal emigration by increasing security measures, 2) amend laws governing emigration in India, 3) to take stringent action against agencies facilitating illegal emigration, and 4) spread education regarding safe emigration.
Pravasi Legal Cell hopes that the Ministry takes serious note of the submissions made in the representation and that this matter is addressed with due seriousness.
