Shri Rajnath Singh to inaugurate National
Conference on Human Trafficking
The Union Home Minister, Shri Rajnath Singh will
inaugurate a National Conference on Human Trafficking, here on October 07,
2015. The conference is being organised by Ministry of Home Affairs along with
key stakeholders like State nodal officers for human trafficking, officers of
Anti Human Trafficking Units (AHTUs) set up in various districts, other
stakeholder Ministries/Departments, NGOs and other experts in the field of
Human Trafficking. The participants will discuss issues and challenges relating
to Human Trafficking and ways and means to curb the menace more effectively.
The Ministry of Home Affairs had advised all States/UTs to launch a sustained campaign titled ‘Operation Smile’ throughout the country for a month in January, 2015 to rescue the missing children and reunite them with their families. Encouraged by the response of this campaign, MHA rolled out another dedicated campaign titled ‘Operation Muskaan’ throughout the country in the month of July, 2015. A total of over 19,000 missing children were rescued during these two Operations.
The top performers of Operation Smile will be awarded during the Conference by the Union Home Minister.
