Stern action against illegitimate recruitment agencies

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan today told the state assembly that stern action would be taken against illegitimate recruitment agencies that exploit women by transporting them abroad by offering job.
Vijayan was replying to a calling attention of CPI(M)'s T V Rajesh to the necessity to solve the miseries being experienced by women from the state who have been illegally emigrated to gulf countries by various agencies.
The Chief Minister said that government has received several complaints from women in this regard. The Centre has also informed the state that necessary steps would be taken to rescue those persons who were exploited.
