The family of Sarabjeet Kaur, a woman from Punjab who had been missing in Dubai for several weeks, has finally received confirmation that she will be repatriated to India. The long-awaited return is scheduled for Tuesday, bringing an end to a period of intense worry and uncertainty for her loved ones in Amritsar.
A Harrowing Ordeal Comes to an End
According to information shared by her family, Sarabjeet Kaur is expected to land in India on Tuesday. Her brother, Manjinder Singh, who resides in Jandiala Guru, confirmed the development. He stated that they have been officially informed about her repatriation, which is being facilitated by the Indian consulate in Dubai. The family's relentless efforts, coupled with diplomatic intervention, have paved the way for her safe return.
Sarabjeet Kaur had travelled to Dubai on a visit visa in January of this year. Her disappearance shortly after arrival triggered a frantic search by her family. They had lost all contact with her, leading to growing fears about her safety and well-being in a foreign country.
Family's Struggle and Official Intervention
The case gained attention after Sarabjeet's family sought help from local authorities and political representatives in Punjab. They approached the Amritsar police and also reached out to Member of Parliament Gurjit Singh Aujla for assistance. The intervention of MP Aujla proved crucial, as he took up the matter with the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi.
The Indian consulate in Dubai then actively pursued the case, locating Sarabjeet Kaur and making the necessary arrangements for her journey back home. The details of her circumstances during the time she was missing have not been fully disclosed, but the primary relief for the family is her imminent return.
Manjinder Singh expressed profound gratitude to MP Gurjit Singh Aujla for his persistent efforts in liaising with the central government and the consulate. He also thanked the consular officials in Dubai for their role in resolving the situation.
A Community Sighs in Relief
The news of Sarabjeet Kaur's repatriation has brought immense relief to her family and the local community in Jandiala Guru and Amritsar. The ordeal highlights the vulnerabilities that can sometimes be faced by Indian nationals abroad, especially on visit visas, and underscores the importance of robust support systems.
The role of prompt action by family and effective coordination between local MPs, the Ministry of External Affairs, and Indian missions overseas has been vital in ensuring a positive outcome in this missing person case. The family now eagerly awaits her safe arrival on Tuesday, hoping to put this distressing chapter behind them.
