The district administration has cancelled the licenses of five travel agencies in Jalandhar under the provisions of the Punjab Travel Professionals Regulation Act, 2012.
Additional District Magistrate-cum-Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) Amarinder Kaur issued the orders while exercising powers under Section 6(1) of the Act.
According to the information procured, the first cancellation was based on an application filed by Kartarpur resident Kulwinder Bains, seeking the withdrawal of license No. 213/MC-1/MA of M/s Bains Travels, located at Mohalla Arya Nagar, Kartarpur.
Similarly, license of Emmer’s Enterprises, operated by Harpreet Singh Flora at Silver Plaza, Sodal Road, Jalandhar, has been revoked. Orders were also issued against license of Grace International, run by Sahil Juneja in Model Town; license of Maventour, managed by Sunil Mitra Kohli at Kapurthala Road; and license of Sehgal & Company, operated by Kailash Nath Sehgal at Palm Rose World Trade Center, G.T. Road, Jalandhar.
The ADM’s order makes it clear that under the Act and Rules, the licensees remain responsible for any existing complaints against them and will also be liable to compensate affected parties.
Officials said the cancellations are part of routine enforcement of the Punjab Travel Professionals Regulation Act, which seeks to regulate the functioning of travel agencies and safeguard citizens from fraudulent practices.
