17 Indians, lured into unsafe work in Laos, way back home : Jaishankar

way2barak, April 7: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday informed that 17 Indian workers, who had been ensnared in unsafe and illicit employment in Laos, are on their way back home. This recuse bid comes as the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) cautioned Indian nationals against falling prey to human traffickers promising lucrative job opportunities in Cambodia.

After the successful rescue of Indian nationals, Jaishankar said in a social media post, “Modi ki Guarantee” works for all at home and abroad, a phrase often used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself during public speeches. “17 Indian workers, lured into unsafe and illegal work in Laos, are on their way back home. Well done, @IndianEmbLaos. Thank Lao authorities for their support for the safe repatriation,” Jaishankar said in a post on social media platform X.
