The person of Karnal who went through a donkey to America now helps the migrants of Haryana

Ten years ago, Tajinder Alias ​​Teji, a resident of the town of Ghogaripur in the district, was another desperate youth from the rural area of ​​Haryana, who was ready to keep everything for a better life. At the age of 43, he not only rebuilt his life in the United States today, but has become a hope of hope for many Indian migrants without legal documents, providing their shelter, food and legal aid, which they have ever lacked. Over the years, it is estimated that they have helped more than 500 people – many of whom from Haryana, Punjab and nearby states – in the US to build their own shelters. He helps them provide shelter, find work, start a legal process for residence and others. Their efforts attract the attention of people from different states, which they regard as a bridge between migrants without papers and often ignore them. Congressman and leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi also met him in Texas on September 8, 2024 and appreciated his efforts. Gandhi also came to his town on September 20, 2024 and met his family members and other people from nearby towns who adopted the ‘Donkey Trail’ to go abroad. Mann, a diploma holder in production engineering from Neelokheri Polytechnic, had only one field of land and had no great job opportunity. His family spent 21 Lakh rupees sending him abroad in the hope of a better future. Mann began his journey to America on January 26, 2015 through the notorious “Donkey Route” – an unsafe and illegal route that thousands of people want to enter America without a proper document. After reaching strange ground with a rigid, uncertain journey of about two months, you spent 42 days in the US detention center and without a job, without contact and a ‘chapati’ to eat. “They were the hardest days of my life. I didn’t know anyone, I didn’t have a roof … and the fear of exile remained constantly,” they remember. For two years, Mann lived his life by sleeping in a metal container standing in the truck site and working in a minimum wage work – first in a shop in Sodabe, California, then as a milkman and night distributor in Petaluma. He worked tirelessly 16-18 hours a day until he finally stood on his feet. Share this story -tags
