Human trafficking is a significant issue in Punjab, with both internal trafficking and cross-border smuggling being rampant. The Punjab police have been at the forefront of combating this crime, conducting numerous anti-human trafficking operations that have resulted in the rescue of countless victims. These operations focus on dismantling trafficking rings, arresting perpetrators, and providing support services to the survivors.
In addition to direct law enforcement efforts, the police have partnered with NGOs and international organizations to offer rehabilitation and reintegration services to rescued victims. The police also engage in preventive efforts, educating the public and vulnerable communities about the dangers of human trafficking and the ways to report suspicious activities. These combined efforts are essential in reducing trafficking and supporting the victims.
