A workshop on ‘Operation Muskan’ was jointly organised by Police, Child line and Women and Child Welfare Department on the High School premises in Kandaibahar village of Farsabahar developmental block.
District Panchayat member Dr Ajay Sharma was the chief guest of the inaugural function. In his address Sharma said human trafficking is a curse for Jashpur region.
In-charge of Farsabahar police station Mallika Banerjee said that earlier many cases of human trafficking were reported in the area. Many young girls of the area were rescued from metros.
She urged the people to be very careful. If someone tries to lure them or offers job to a minor or asks to go out with them, avoid such things. Such cases should be reported in the police station.
Banerjee said that such matters should be brought to notice of Sarpanch, Panch, Kotwar or Aanganbadi workers so that they could help them.
In case any suspicious person is found in your neighbourhood, inform the matter to the nearest police station, she said.
Project administrator of Women Child Welfare project Tapkara, E Khessa said that child marriage is a social evil. In case of any child marriage taking place in the town informed the matter to Aanganbadi workers and soon the department would take action.
