New Delhi, May 22 : The Supreme Court on Friday directed the authorities across the country to register police complaints immediately after the receipt of missing cases saying that 47,000 children have been remaining untraced in the country.
A bench of Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Justice R Mahadevan said that the growing number of such cases are alarming indeed adding that these children are victims of organised interstate trafficking syndicates.
The top court said that in cases of missing persons anti-human trafficking units should be made fully functional within a month.
“The Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, is directed to put in place an all-India grid connecting each and every police station in the country on one platform, which will have a special portal dedicated to human trafficking, including missing children and women,” said the top court.
