Ludhiana, Feb 16 (Reporter) Urging the youth of the state to learn lessons from recent deportation of illegal migrants from the USA, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Sunday appealed them to shun the idea of going abroad by wrong means and work hard at their native state to make it a frontrunner in country. He said, "We are blessed to have taken birth on this sacred land, which has the most fertile land in the world." However, he bemoaned that due to the failure of the successive governments in the state, the youth were forced to migrate to other countries in search of green pastures. Mann said, "The mass deportation from the US is an eye-opener for all of us and now we should not move abroad illegally, rather work hard for socio-economic growth of the state." He also said that the state government has already given more than 50,000 government jobs to the youth in Punjab purely on the basis of merit. He said that this is the first time in the history of the state that such a whopping number of government jobs have been given to the youth in three years.
