On the eve of the International Missing Children’s Day, child rights group CRY has presented a report about cross-border human trafficking in India. As per the report, Manipur has emerged as the new source of cross-border human trafficking in India.
Keisham Pradipkumar, member of Manipur Commission for Protection of Child Rights (MCPCR) shared that this report has mentioned that Manipur is also being used as an easy transit route. Children are soft and easy target. They were being trafficked via Myanmar to countries like Singapore after luring them with lucrative job offers.
Puja Marwaha, chief of CRY, said that West Bengal tops the list with accounting for a whopping 15.13 per cent of all missing children in the country in 2016, while Delhi closely follows with 13.14 per cent. The evidences indicate a large number of missing children are actually trafficked, kidnapped or abducted.
This report also said that this organised crime of trafficking is the next largest form of transnational illegal trade after arms and drugs.
