:dateline:Sikh activist Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa has expressed deep concern at�the capsizing�of a boat�containing more than 20 Punjabi youth on the way to the USA. The youth were in a bid to illegally enter the�United States in hope of better future, when the boat is believed to have capsized near the waters of Panama.
Holding the Punjab government responsible for the uncontrolled exploitation�of Punjab youth by illegal travel agents, Bapu Ji has said that government has�made no efforts�in controlling the operations of�illegal agents. He has said that such incidents are getting highlighted day by day but the Punjab government is not making�any initiative to control it.
Terming the current incident as much more unfortunate than the fateful�incident in Malta, a few decades ago, Bapu Ji said that the Punjab government should take immediate and strict action against agents responsible for the incident. He has asked the government to punish the travel agents with an exemplary punishment so that no one in future could dare to exploit�innocent youth.
