Cyberabad launches Muskan-12 to trace missing children

The Cyberabad Police on Friday, July 3, launched “Operation Muskan-12”, a month-long drive aimed at tracing missing children and rescuing minors from begging, rag-picking, child labour, trafficking and bonded labour.

The initiative, which will run from July 1 to July 31, seeks to identify, rescue and rehabilitate homeless children and those forced into exploitative conditions across the Cyberabad Commissionerate



limits.

Cyberabad Police Commissioner M Ramesh chaired a convergence meeting at the Cyberabad Commissionerate headquarters to review the implementation of the operation and coordinate efforts among various stakeholder departments.

As part of the drive, Cyberabad Police have formed seven special teams, each comprising a sub-inspector and four police constables, including a woman constable, to identify and rescue children trapped in child labour and trafficking networks.
