Amritsar: The Cabinet of Punjab Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal on Sunday met with the family members of Gurpreet Singh, who wanted to go to America via the ‘Dunki’ route and died on the way to Guatemala of heart attack.
Dhaliwal met the mourning family and told the media that he will appeal to people to not go to any other country illegally.
“We have a lot of youth here. In the last two or three months, we have been struggling with the situation in America. The deceased had reached Guatemala. They were trying to reach the US through the ‘dunki’ route. There he died with a heart attack,” Dhaliwal said.
“This is a request that no one should go illegally,” he said
Dhaliwal added that he has initiated a process to retrieve the body of the deceased man.
“The deceased man, who was 33-years-old, was trying to go to America, through different countries. Their parents were also upset. They demand that they should be given their dead bodies. We have already started a process from our department in Punjab to get the dead body. But I request all the Punjab’s parents and all the young people to not go anywhere illegally,” the Punjab minister said.
“But this is an illegal way. The way of the donkey route is illegal. Look, how much damage has been done. They told us that they have lost Rs 36 lakh. So, this is the damage that is being done. And whoever wants to go, go legally. Going through illegal dunki, this is very sad,” he said.
