Itanagar, March 14 (IANS) Arunachal Pradesh police on Friday rescued three teenage girls from Assam at Naharlagun railway station, near Itanagar, the police said.
A police officer said that the girls, aged 14 to 15 years, boarded a train from Duliajan intending to reach Tinsukia but inadvertently arrived at Naharlagun railway station in Arunachal Pradesh on Wednesday.
The girls — aged 14 to 15 years — boarded a train on March 12 from Duliajan intending to reach Tinsukia, also in the state’s same region, but inadvertently reached Naharlagun railway station, near Arunachal Pradesh capital on the same day evening.
After getting information from the people in the Naharlagun railway station, the police immediately rescued the girls, provided medical care and took them to Oju Shelter Home at Naharlagun.
Police contacted Assam’s Duliajan police, who very quickly traced the parents of the minors.
The three girls reunited with their parents at Papu Hills police station on Friday.
The parents of the minors appreciated the Arunachal Pradesh police for their quick proactive action and coordination with the support of Duliajan Police before their parents were traced.
The swift and professional action by Papu Hills Police in Itanagar ensured the safety and well-being of the teenage girls and also prevented any potential risks of exploitation or human trafficking as well.
The successful action underlined the dedication of law enforcement agencies in safeguarding vulnerable girls, a senior Arunachal Pradesh police official said.
Last year, Arunachal Pradesh police busted an inter-state racket at Chimpu in Papum Pare district. Police rescued five minors and arrested 21 accused in the inter-state prostitution racket involving human traffickers from the state and neighbouring Assam.
Arunachal Pradesh Women Commission Chairperson Kenjum Pakam earlier urged the state government to take stern action against those involved in the child trafficking and sexual exploitation racket.
