CHANDIGARH: After Punjab and Tamil Nadu, the UK on Thursday launched the ‘Visa Fraud Se Bache’ campaign in Haryana to help protect Indian nationals from the physical, financial and emotional risks of visa fraud and irregular migration.
The campaign was launched at an event in Sonipat in the presence of Minister of State for Youth Empowerment and Entrepreneurship Gaurav Gautam and UK Home Office Acting Permanent Secretary Simon Ridley.
It will focus on the districts of Ambala, Kaithal, Karnal, and Kurukshetra and in support and coordination with the state government.
The campaign encourages prospective travellers to the UK to verify information and stay vigilant through a dedicated WhatsApp chatbot (+91 70652 51380).
As part of the initiative, UK teams will be conducting outreach engagements in these areas and highlighting the warning signs of visa scams.
