Amritsar man working at Italian farm goes missing

Harmandeep Singh, a resident of Mahawa village, has gone missing in Italy.

Harmandeep, who has been residing in Italy for the past several years, went missing when he was returning home after working at a dairy farm in Pontinia four days ago.

Kabal Singh, father of the missing youth, said Harmandeep had gone to Italy around seven years ago. “On July 22, we got information that he had gone missing while returning home. The Italian Police are providing full support and trying to locate him,” he said.

Tension has gripped the family as it is eagerly waiting to know about his whereabouts. “Since July 22, there has been no trace of Harmandeep,” they said.

Amritsar MP Gurjit Singh Aujla on Saturday met his family at Mahawa village. He assured them that the government was in touch with the Indian embassy over there regarding the issue.

Aujla said every possible effort was being made to locate him.

The MP said after he got the information about Harmandeep’s disappearance, he contacted the Indian embassy in Rome and informed them about it. The embassy told him that they were in touch with the police there and the Indians living there were also being questioned. They have also talked to Harmandeep’s father here.

He said Harmandeep was supposed to come to India to attend the wedding of his brother in December.
