Satisfied over the successful accomplishment of Operation Muskan I and II for the rescue of missing children from across the country, the CID is soon to launch a Facebook page so that more and more information could be gathered from tech savvy youths from every nook and corner of the Country. A total of 1,374 children have been rescued so far both from inside and outside the State during Operation Muskan I and II.
“The Facebook page will enable us to have a better inflow of information from the general masses as the new generation has now become more tech-savvy and are more active on this social site,” aid IG (Organized Crime) Sampat Meena. More the people are aware about the operation, more leads we get from them, added Meena.
According to Meena, the CID easily gets information about the male children but it is difficult to get any information regarding the female children as they work inside the house as domestic helps. “It is difficult to carve out information from someone’s house but once the Facebook page is created, I guess no one will hesitate to share information with us as they will get a medium to share information with us,” Meena added.
