New Delhi [India], April 2 (ANI): Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), has written a letter to the Punjab government based on a report of Border Security Force (BSF) wherein the force has informed the ministry that they had apprehended 58 Indian nationals from the border areas who were given drugs and forced to work as bonded labourers.
"Border Security Force has informed the ministry that they had apprehended 58 Indian nationals from the border areas of Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Ferozepur and Abohar Punjab in the years 2019 and 2020. During the course of questioning, it emerged that most of them were either mentally challenged or were in a feeble state of mind and have been working as bonded labourers with farmers in border villages of Punjab," the MHA said.
