Srinagar, Apr 13 : Faizan Rasool, a Srinagar youth, whose pursuit to seek job opportunity alongside twenty eight countrymen met a dead end after playing into hands of fraudsters in Myanmar, has finally arrived back home here on Friday after two months. While the job quest didn’t materialized, safe to say for Faizan “Jaan Bachi Toh Laakho Paaye.”
Faizan, a resident of Safakadal Srinagar, was lured by fraudsters on pretext of job, like over dozen other countrymen. While the job quest didn’t yielded, Faizan was caught in a quagmire as they had to traverse border of Thailand, only to get stuck in Myanmar, with twenty eight fellows, including a girl.
The stranded citizens made repeated pleas, personally as well as through media to reach out to embassies, but no proper response came for over a period of almost forty days. We at Kashmir Bulletin carried exclusive stories on multiple occasions, trying to nudge the top authorities about plight of the stranded citizens, especially of Faizan Rasool.
To everyone’s delight, especially of Faizan Rasool’s, it recently came in public that he would alongside others reach back home very soon. After few more days of wait, a flight finally carried back the citizens, with Faizan himself landing on Srinagar International Airport a while ago.
Confirming the development, Faizan Rasool’s family conveyed their gratitude to Kashmir Bulletin for highlighting the issue. “We thank everyone for making it possible that our beloved is reunited with us after facing this much ordeal,” a family member said, adding, “It would be travesty if we don’t mention news agency Kashmir Bulletin for their unrelenting efforts to highlight the issue.” (KB)
