3 years on, parents wait for Ropar youth missing in Iraq

Date:

Ropar, April 25: Old parents’ wait for their son, who left for Iraq four years ago in 2013, seems to be unending as they had not received any communication from him for more than three years.

Ramesh Chander, 64-year-old father of the missing youth, is now running from pillar to post, but to no avail.
Ramesh, while talking to the media at his home, said his son Sudhir Kashyap had left for Iraq after getting a job in Mosul on October 27, 2013, through a Chandigarh-based travel. After reaching there he used to call them up on phone. However, six months after, he stopped calling, he said.

He said when he did not get any phone call from Sudhir for long he contacted the travel agent, who instead of helping him in contacting his son, denied that he had sent him to Iraq. He even did not know the name or address of the employer of Sudhir, said Ramesh Chander.

Since July last year he had requested External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj writing two letters to trace his son, still there was no reply in this regard, he added. And now his worries had increased after knowing the fate of 39 Indians, who were trapped in Mosul, said Ramesh Chander.
