The British High Commission has announced an extension of its 'Visa Fraud Ton Bacho' campaign across Punjab and Haryana, aiming to raise awareness about visa scams. Originally launched in February, this initiative focuses on safeguarding Indian citizens from the risks of fraudulent visa processes and irregular migration.
The campaign will benefit from active partnerships with local stakeholders, according to a high commission statement released on Wednesday. The UK authorities plan to collaborate extensively with Indian counterparts to enhance outreach efforts in these regions over the coming months.
In a move to make resources more accessible, the UK has unveiled a new QR-code for its WhatsApp chatbot, offering official guidance in Punjabi on identifying visa scams and seeking legal routes to the UK. The campaign's information resources will be distributed among local authorities to create a robust network of informed partners.
