Draft of new immigration law ready, says Ravi
New Delhi: A draft of a new immigration law has been prepared by the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs and it will now initiate consultations with Law, External Affairs and Home Ministries to finalise the document before tabling it in Parliament.
“A draft for the new [immigration] legislation is ready,” Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs Vayalar Ravi told PTI.
The draft provides for more power to police to deal with unscrupulous agents who dupe those migrating to other countries.
Fixing responsibility
It also aims at fixing responsibility of agents and officials involved in the immigration process.
Noting that the existing law was the basis of the draft, Mr. Ravi said, “It will be a very progressive law to deal with the changed circumstances around us.”
The Minister said the existing Immigration Act would be repealed “after the Cabinet approves” the draft. — PTI
