Anjani Kumar stated that while India ranks first in sending experts in various man power professions to the countries of the world, Telangana is playing a vital role. It is in the forefront of sending well-trained manpower mainly in nursing and para-medical fields to foreign countries, especially to Middle Eastern and European countries.

However, at the same time, those who go to Gulf countries for various jobs were being cheated by agents. A strict vigil has been kept on unrecognised foreign recruitment agencies, illegal recruitment agencies and tourist agencies in the State, he added.

Ausaf Saeed said that a new Act is being introduced to replace the current Immigration Act of 1983 in order to take strict action against the agencies that illegally send people abroad without proper permits in the name of employment opportunities.

City Police Commissioner C.V.Anand said that there are around 82 unauthorised and unregistered recruiting and consultancy agencies in the state, out of which 52 are in Hyderabad.
