Pandemic opened a huge door for trafficking
THE WEEK India

INTERVIEWMANOJ YADAVA,DIRECTOR GENERAL, RAILWAY PROTECTION FORCE
Q. Why is there an increase in the number of lost children found at railway stations and on trains?
A. In 2024, 14,756 children were rescued from railway stations across the country—a threefold increase compared with 2020. We usually see a spike during school holiday season, but the number surged after the Covid-19 pandemic. Many families lost their jobs and began sending their children to cities for work. That opened a huge door for exploitation and trafficking.
Q. How many children does the RPF rescue each year? How many are reunited with their families?

Why Delhi can't be Indraprastha
The recent proposal by a Delhi BJP MP to officially rename the capital city from Delhi to 'Indraprastha'—invoking the legendary city of the Pandavas from the Mahabharat—is more than a superficial suggestion. It is a politically motivated attempt to rewrite the complex, multilayered history of one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited metropolises.

Freedom on independence day
Volodymyr Mykolayenko, mayor of the city of Kherson in south Ukraine from February 2014 till December 2020, was aware of the perils of Russian attacks, because he witnessed the occupation of Crimea in 2014. But he never believed that Russians would attack the south of Ukraine and that too his city, Kherson. Here are excerpts from what he told Mridula Ghosh after he was freed from Russian captivity.
