In a bid to spread awareness and warn job aspirants of illegal recruiting agents, the Indian government has released a series of TV advertisements in Dubai.
Over the last one month, several advertisements in English, Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil and Punjabi languages have been screened to raise awareness among Indians aspiring to work abroad. The 30-second ads, apart from cautioning potential labourers, also warn women employees on how they might be duped.
The advertisements by the ministry of overseas Indian affairs caution people, especially rural Indians, on the dangers of going to the Gulf and other countries through such unscrupulous agents.
During his last visit to the UAE, Vyalar Ravi, minister of overseas Indian affairs, had said that the government will act with a heavy hand on illegal; recruiting
