Sarhad will start helpline from July 15
Keeping in mind the rising attacks on Manipuri students as well as
issues of trafficking faced by the youth, non-government organisation
Sarhad has decided to extend a helping hand to them.
Starting from July 15, the NGO would start a helpline aimed at rescue and rehabilitation of Manipuri youth who fall prey to child trafficking, a highly prevalent issue in the north eastern state.
Addressing a press conference held in the city, Sarhad chief Sharad Nahar said, “An estimated 500 plus youth from Manipur were rescued from various parts of the country in the last one year.
“The youth, mainly belonging to the tribal communities, fall prey to fake promises offered under the pretext of better education and jobs in bigger cities. But they end up being involved in malpractices and get into wrong company.”
The team of Sarhad aims to trace such victims in Pune and Mumbai and would work to provide all necessary help to them lead a normal life.
The helpline that would cater to child trafficking in Manipur, Maharashtra and Karnataka would start functioning on July 15, added Nahar.
