K'taka: Special task force to trace missing children
The Morning Standard
|July 09, 2025
IN response to growing concerns over child trafficking and unresolved missing children cases, the Karnataka government has constituted special task forces at the district level to trace missing and abducted children across the state.
The decision follows a directive from the Karnataka Legislative Committee on Women and Child Welfare, which raised the issue during a meeting on June 20.
The circular stated that numerous cases of children being abducted and going missing have been reported in the state and such cases are a serious violation of children's rights.
The task force aims to ensure a coordinated and accountable response to prevent such incidents and protect vulnerable children.
Police heads of districts will be chairmen of the task force and there will be 10 members from various departments.
