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. The youths, who were lured to the country with promises of lucrative job opportunities, are now being forced into illegal work for long hours every day. The situation has prompted Vadodara MLA Ketan Inamdar to seek the immediate intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
According to reports, the youths were brought to Myanmar under the pretext of being offered well-paying jobs. However, upon arrival, they were forced into working long hours, often for 14-18 hours a day, in illegal activities. The youths, who are mostly from Gujarat, are now desperate to return home but are being held captive by the scamsters.
One of the trapped youths managed to send an audio message, detailing the horrific conditions they are 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 in the audio message. The message highlights the desperation and fear that the youths are living with, and the urgent need for intervention to rescue them.
MLA Ketan Inamdar, who has taken up the cause of the trapped youths, has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking his immediate attention to the matter. Inamdar has urged the Prime Minister to take urgent action to rescue the youths and bring them back to India safely. The MLA has also requested the Prime Minister to direct the Indian Embassy in Myanmar to take necessary steps to ensure the safe return of the youths.
The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety and security of Indian citizens, particularly youths, who are being lured by international scam rackets with promises of lucrative jobs. The government needs to take immediate action to prevent such incidents in the future and to ensure that those responsible for the scam are brought to justice.
The international cyber scam racket, which has trapped the Gujarati youths, is a serious issue that requires the attention of the government and law enforcement agencies. The racket, which operates across international borders, uses social media and other online platforms to lure unsuspecting youths with promises of well-paying jobs. Once the youths arrive in the destination country, they are forced into illegal activities, and their passports and other documents are confiscated, leaving them with no option but to work for the scamsters.
The incident has also highlighted the need for awareness and education about the risks of international job scams. Many youths, particularly from rural areas, are often unaware of the risks associated with such scams and are easily lured by the promise of lucrative jobs. The government and civil society organizations need to launch awareness campaigns to educate youths about the risks of such scams and to provide them with information about safe and legitimate job opportunities.
In conclusion, the incident of over 100 Gujarati youths being trapped in Myanmar is a serious issue that requires immediate attention and action. The government needs to take urgent steps to rescue the youths and bring them back to India safely. The incident also highlights the need for awareness and education about the risks of international job scams and the need for the government and law enforcement agencies to take action to prevent such incidents in the future.
