India, Feb. 9 -- The Punjab government on Sunday launched a WhatsApp helpline number - 90-56-009-884 - to assist Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in distress.

The initiative comes after 104 Indian migrants were deported from the United States and it aims to provide NRIs with a quick and accessible channel to report issues and seek support.

According to the official statement, all the concerns and complaints logged on this helpline number will be directed to the relevant government departments as well as the NRI wing of the Punjab Police, which is led by the additional director general of police.

Along with this, NRIs seeking further assistance can visit the official nri.punjab.gov.in for more details on the services available to them.
