Following the orders of US President Donald Trump, 104 Indians have been deported to Amritsar by military plane. With this, their dream of going to America failed. After this, 104 Indians have told the story of their Dunki route to America.

 

These Indians have shared the troubles they faced during that time and the troubles they faced by falling prey to agents to reach there. They have told how they took Dunki flights and how they reached America without papers even after paying huge amounts.

 

A youth from Punjab told the story.

 

Harvinder Singh, a native of Tahli village in Hoshiarpur district of Punjab, said that he was promised a work visa to America by the agent, for which he paid Rs 42 lakh.

 

Singh was told that the visa had not arrived and was later put on a continuous flight from Delhi to Qatar and then to Brazil. He told reporters, 'In Brazil, I was told that I would be put on a flight from Peru, but there was no such flight.

 

"Then taxis took us further to Colombia and further to the beginning of Panama. From there, I was told a ship would take us, but there was no ship there either. That's where our Dunki route started, which lasted two days."

 

Walked 40 KM on foot through hills

 

Sukhpal Singh of Darapur village also faced similar troubles, he had to travel for 15 hours by sea route and walk 40-45 km through hills surrounded by deep-sad valleys. He said, 'If someone gets injured, he is left to die.

 

We saw many dead bodies on the way.' The journey did not yield any result, as the native of Jalandhar district was arrested in Mexico just before crossing the border to enter the US.'

 

People had gone to America from many states.

A US military plane carrying 104 illegal immigrants from various states landed in Amritsar, the first such batch of Indians deported by the Donald Trump government. Sources said 33 each were from Haryana and Gujarat, 30 were from Punjab, three each from Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, and two from Chandigarh.

 

According to the report, those deported included nineteen women and 13 minors, including a four-year-old boy and two girls aged five and seven.
