THE UNITED STATES: According to a report by _The_ _Times of India_, Indians who attempt to illegally cross over into the US typically do so through the US-Mexico border. The agents make
their clients walk the entire stretch of the Darien Gap that joins Columbia with Panama. People have to cross the cartel-infested length by marching for days without food and water, fending
off life-threatening diseases. THE UNITED KINGDOM: In order to travel to the UK, the client is made to travel to a Schengen country, most often France, Belgium, or Germany. Thereon, the
agents provide them with fake residency permits or driving licences, which assist their entry into the UK. WESTERN EUROPE: Until last year, clients travelling to Western Europe would often
travel to Serbia without a visa and stay there for a month until agents or human traffickers would organise a 'donkey route'. The route would usually be a sea journey from Serbia
to Italy for Indians. Serbia being close to Austria, Greece, and Italy makes it easier for immigrants to enter the European Union (EU) or Schengen countries. (With inputs _The Wire, The
