Hyderabad July 31: A meeting was held yesterday.
Director General of Police of Telangana state Anurag Sharma has launched an awareness campaign against Human Trafficking.

He has described human trafficking as "a serious crime, second most international illegal business after drugs and fear of law needs to be created among those indulging in the illegal activity".

DGP spoke the above words at an event organized on Sunday on the occasion of 'World Day against Trafficking in Persons' by the State Police, along with Department of Prosecution, Mahita NGO, and Plan India.

Sharma has said that " every second, a child in underdeveloped and developing country was a victim and women trafficked from east European countries was phenomenal, Many of the trafficked
children end up in sweathouses which are nothing but modern slavery and should be curbed with an iron hand".



Finally, he ended his speech by saying that "Telangana police will be committed to give stringent punishment to those perpetrating these crimes".He has also said that Under "Operation Muskaan and Smile"

* 950 trafficking cases were registered.
* 1397 victims were rescued.
* 1043 traffickers were arrested in the State since 2014.

Let's hope that TS police continue more such initiatives in future so that human trafficking can be avoided.
