The untimely death of seven migrant Punjabis is a big tragedy | News India

People are sending their children abroad to earn a living by selling the land of their relatives and neighbors and taking loans. There was a time when the landlords of Punjab used to give the title of mother to the land. Selling land was considered a great boon. Today's generation is moving towards foreign countries, losing not only their motherland but also their mother tongue. Before the partition of the country, Punjab, the land of five rivers, was considered the most prosperous state of the country.

Due to the division of Santali, two and a half rivers came into the parts of Punjab. Despite this, the land of the emerging Punjab is considered to be the most fertile where there is the blessing of six seasons. I do not understand why the youth are bidding goodbye to such a divided land and going abroad? The death of Punjabi youth abroad is a matter of concern. Every third or fourth day, the news of the death of a Punjabi abroad keeps coming in the newspapers.

I am mentioning the deaths that have happened in the last few days in this article so that parents may change their mind of sending their children abroad after reading about the deaths that have happened abroad. According to a news published on July 3, two people including Jasvir Singh, a youth of Begowal (Kapurthala) city, were killed in indiscriminate firing by unknown gunmen in the afternoon in Jackson city of Mississippi state of America. Begowal resident Vasan Singh had invested Rs 40 lakh in his son Jasvir Singh a year ago.

was sent to America.

Three Punjabi girls, including Lakhwinder Kaur Komal of Sukha Chira village and Khushpreet of Malla village near Hathoor, died in a car accident in Brampton city of Canada, while two boys were seriously injured. Lakhwinder Kaur had gone to Canada 10 months ago and Khushpreet Kaur last year on a study visa. Similarly, three Punjabi students died in a road accident in Canada. The deceased have been identified as Rashmdeep Kaur (23), a resident of Samana, Navjot Somal (19) and Harmal Somal (23), both cousins, both residents of Malaud, Ludhiana. The news published on August 11 stated that 48-year-old Ranjit Singh Dhillon of village Talwandi Rai Tehsil Raikot died of a heart attack in Brampton. His brother Kulwinder Singh Dhillon said that Ranjit Singh Dhillon had moved to Brampton in 1997.

He was living there with his wife and two children. Similarly, 22-year-old Manjit Singh, who had gone to Canada from village Kata in Nawanshahr two months ago, died under mysterious circumstances. His landlords said that he had gone out and his phone was switched off. His body was recovered from a nearby park. Tejbir Singh, a resident of village Manihala Jai ​​Singh in Tarn Taran district, who had gone to Canada to earn a living, died in a road accident. He had gone to Canada two years ago with his wife Jagroop Kaur.

On the way, his trolley was hit by a vehicle, due to which he died. On August 3, the news also appeared in the newspapers that Major Masih, a soldier from Chanewal village of Batala tehsil, died after a trailer overturned in Saudi Arabia. Avtar Masih, a resident of Chanewal, told that his nephew Major Masih had gone to Saudi Arabia 7 years ago. He used to drive a trailer there. The deceased's family includes his wife Veena, seven-year-old daughter and elderly parents. Dilraj, a 20-year-old youth of Dhariwal Bhoja village near Batala, died of a heart attack in America. He had gone to America some time ago. On August 28, the news also appeared that Kanwarpal Singh (20), a youth from Samana, died in a serious road accident in Ontario province of Canada. He went to Canada in 2022. He had left for work by vehicle as usual. At some distance, a speeding trolley hit his vehicle. He died in the hospital recently. Prabhjeet Singh, a 30-year-old youth from Batala, died of a heart attack while working in Canada.

He was the only son of his parents and went to Canada two and a half years ago and a son was born there two months ago. On September 7, the news of another tragic death came in which former Sarpanch of Batala village in Malerkotla district, Boor Singh said that his 22-year-old son Jashandeep Singh Mann had gone to Canada on a student visa.

Recently, a 40-year-old white man, Edgar Wasner, attacked and killed her with a box cutter. Jashandeep's father, former sarpanch Boror Singh, said that we just want to know what motivated the attacker to destroy our world by taking Jashandeep from us.

The parents and relatives of the youth who have gone abroad are longing to meet them, while the youth living abroad are longing to meet their parents and siblings. Many times, the youth living abroad are not lucky enough to see the face of their elderly parents when they die. Instead of spending lakhs of rupees and going abroad, the youth of Punjab and their heirs can earn more from that money by staying in their own country. The youth are not ready to work in their own country while they are ready to work in every country. This is really a matter of concern and thought.
