Chandigarh: The Haryana assembly passed four Bills on Wednesday, including two that were reintroduced and require the President’s assent. The earlier versions of the Haryana Registration and Regulation of Travel Agents Bill, 2025, and the Haryana Honourable Disposal of Dead Body Bill, 2025, were returned by the Central government with objections.
Bill provided for measures to check and monitor the unlawful and fraudulent activities of travel agents and provide a mechanism to punish wrong doers as per law.
“Innocent and unemployed Haryana youth were being lured into the trap of illegal immigration on a large scale through illegitimate means. Unscrupulous and unregistered travel agents deceive them by promising easy and quick immigration to foreign countries. These agents promise to arrange work visas, work permits, study visas through offer letters from universities and colleges in foreign countries. But in many cases, they fail to deliver on their promises. In many cases, these agents provide fake offer letters and sometimes even form fake or unrecognised universities or colleges. They charge exorbitant fees and demand huge amounts of money at different stages. Many a time, these agents send innocent persons to foreign countries illegally and such persons are caught and put behind bars by the police of those countries. Therefore, there is a dire need to curb the illegal activities of such travel agents,” the Bill said.
