Over 100 Gujaratis trapped in Myanmar, MLA seeks PM Modi’s help
In a shocking turn of events, over 100 Gujarati youths have found themselves trapped in Myanmar, victims of an international cyber scam racket that had promised them lucrative job opportunities. The youths, who were lured to the Southeast Asian country with promises of high-paying jobs, have been forced into illegal work for long hours, with little to no respite. The situation has prompted Vadodara MLA Ketan Inamdar to seek the immediate intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to take urgent action to rescue the trapped youths.
According to reports, the youths were brought to Myanmar in the name of job opportunities, but were soon forced into working long hours, often for 14-18 hours a day, in inhumane conditions. The youths, who are mostly from the state of Gujarat, were promised jobs in the IT sector, but were instead made to work in call centers, where they were forced to engage in illegal activities such as cyber scams and online fraud.
In an audio message, one of the trapped youths recounted the horrific conditions they were being subjected to. “We were brought here in the name of jobs…but we were forced into illegal work for 14-18 hours daily,” the youth said, his voice laced with desperation. The youths have been unable to escape, with their passports and other documents being confiscated by their captors.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, with families of the trapped youths appealing to the government for help. The youths, who are mostly in their early twenties, had been promised a better life, but have instead found themselves trapped in a nightmare. The situation has highlighted the dangers of cyber scams and the need for greater awareness and vigilance among youngsters.
MLA Ketan Inamdar, who has taken up the cause of the trapped youths, has urged Prime Minister Modi to intervene in the matter, seeking his help in rescuing the youths. Inamdar has written to the Prime Minister, apprising him of the situation and seeking his urgent intervention. “I have written to the Prime Minister, requesting him to intervene in the matter and rescue the trapped youths,” Inamdar said.
The incident has also raised questions about the role of the government in protecting its citizens from such scams. While the government has been taking steps to crack down on cyber scams, more needs to be done to create awareness among youngsters about the dangers of such scams. The government also needs to take steps to ensure that such incidents do not recur in the future.
The situation of the trapped youths is a grim reminder of the dangers of cyber scams and the need for greater vigilance among youngsters. It is imperative that the government takes immediate action to rescue the trapped youths and bring them back to safety. The government must also take steps to create awareness among youngsters about the dangers of cyber scams and the need to be cautious when seeking job opportunities online.
In conclusion, the incident of over 100 Gujarati youths being trapped in Myanmar is a shocking reminder of the dangers of cyber scams. The government must take immediate action to rescue the trapped youths and bring them back to safety. The government must also take steps to create awareness among youngsters about the dangers of cyber scams and the need to be cautious when seeking job opportunities online.
