Reforms sought in travel professionals Act
The Association of Licensed Immigration and Education Consultants (ALIEC) today called for reforms in the Punjab Travel Professionals Regulation Act, 2013, to plug loopholes that allow illegal operators to thrive.

The association urged the police to organise awareness camps on the issue.
