Administration cancels licences of IELTS coaching centres in Amritsar

The district administration has cancelled licences of several IELTS coaching centres and immigration consultancy centres in the city. The action was taken under the Punjab Prevention of Human Smuggling Act, 2012, and Punjab Travel Professions Regulation Act.

“Owners of centres have failed to apply for renewal of licences. So, they have to wind up their operations. Several agencies have expressed their unwillingness to continue with their businesses,” said Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADCP) Jyoti Bala.

The licences of Visionar Overseas Consultancy, Baba Budha Ji Avenue, New Amritsar Gate, Fasttrack, Ranjit Avenue, RS Travels, Khalsa Avenue, near Khalsa College for Women, Khehra Education Services, Ranjit Avenue, Mustafabad Consultant Services, Chatiwind Chowk, Filewell, Rani Ka Bagh, and Global Iris Private Limited, RR Tower, Ranjit Avenue, were cancelled with immediate effect.
