'Anti Human Trafficking' police station set up

Ghaziabad, Jun 14: Taking a step forward against illegal human trafficking in the state, an ''Anti Human Trafficking'' police station was opened here today (June 14).

"The police station will work to rehabilitate women and children, who have been pushed into prostitution, immoral trafficking and child labour activities," SSP Raghubir lal, said after inaugurating the station.

"Lawful action will be taken against those who persuade women and children to enter in unconstitutional and illegal activities," he said.

With the help of non-governmental organisations police will handover the victims of trafficking to their families, he added.
