‘Abandoned, treated like criminals’: Travel ban, jail threat leave Indian-Australians in a fix © Provided by The Print New Delhi: When 37-year-old IT professional Gurpreet Singh, a permanent resident of Australia, came to attend his father’s funeral in Punjab’s Nawanshahr on 15 April, he thought it would be a short trip. However, since Australia Monday banned all travellers from India into the country till 15 May, Singh has not been able to return home to Perth. The Australian government has come under pressure to reverse a travel ban, which came into effect Monday. The ban includes a five-year jail term or a hefty fine of up to 66,000 Australian dollars or both for those entering Australia after having been in India within the past 14 days of their arrival.
