State Children and Women’s Welfare minister, Shashi Panja said they had recently signed one such memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Maharashtra and are now trying to sign MoUs with other states.
‘Our focus is on prevention of trafficking and reintegration of the victim with their families. We lag
behind when it comes to prosecution of offenders,’ Shashi Panja said at an event here.
The government has already formed a trafficking advisory committee and a task force to deal with the issue.
The guidelines on child protection committee were also released on Thursday.
Under the integrated child protection scheme, these committees play a vigilant role to combat human trafficking at the gram panchayat, village, block, district and state levels.
