Child trafficking racket busted, 137 boys rescued in Surat

Child trafficking racket busted, 137 boys rescued in Surat

Around 137 children of age group between 10 and 16 years brought from Rajasthan and other states for household and factory work were rescued from a housing society in Surat early on Sunday.

Officials said multiple agencies conducted a raid around 5.30 am at three building blocks in Sitaram Nagar Society in Pankaj Nagar of Surat from where the children, all boys, were rescued. They also detained around 30 people on charges of human trafficking and were being questioned, officials said. They children were involved in work, in violation of the Juvenile Justice (JJ) Act, which prohibits child labour.

According to police, the detained accused were living with the children in the housing society. Out of the 137 children, 128 are from Rajasthan while others are from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand.

The raid was conducted by Gujarat CID Crime (Women Cell), Gujarat Police, Rajasthan Police, Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi’s NGO Bachpan Bachao Andolan’s New Delhi, Rajasthan and Gujarat units, as well as officials of child rights commissions from Gujarat and Rajasthan.

“We received information regarding the presence of children in a housing society in Surat and a raid was conducted jointly with other agencies. Parents of most of the children were aware that their kids are being sent to Gujarat to work, due to unemployment and acute poverty in their surroundings. However, employing a child below the age of 14 in any work and below the age of 18 in a serious, hazardous condition is illegal according to JJ Act,” said Anil Pratham, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) CID Crime (Women Cell).

According to officials present during the raid, the kids were allegedly sold in Rajasthan and then brought to Surat in different groups. “Out of the 30 accused, each was handling a group of 4-5 children and they used to stay in rented apartments of the housing society. A few days ago, Bachpan Bachao Andolan of Rajasthan had done a recce of the place and then shared the information with its Gujarat counterpart. After that Delhi unit of Bachpan Bachao Andolan and CID Crime was also brought in and a decision was taken to conduct a raid on Sunday. We are interrogating the accused go find out about their network,” an official said on condition of anonymity.

“They were kept in inhuman conditions and were made to work in the textile sector, hotels and as domestic workers. Most of the children are from tribal areas of Rajasthan and were trafficked to Surat to provide cheap labour,” said Shailendra Pandya, member of the Rajasthan State Commission for Protection of Child Rights. He said further action would include counselling of children to help them overcome the distress of being child labourers, and lodging of a case in Rajasthan.

Superstition: As the last solar eclipse of 2019 captures everyone's attention, a village in Karnataka's Kalburgi was seen burying their disabled children in sand.



Several families in Kalburgi were seen following this superstitious belief of burying their mentally and physically disabled children neck-deep in sand hoping to cure them of their illness.

As per a superstitious belief, if disabled children are buried in sand during a solar eclipse they can be cured. 

This was the last solar eclipse of the year 2019 and it was an annular one. An annular eclipse occurs when the moon covers the sun`s centre, leaving the sun`s outer edges visible to form a `ring of fire` or annulus around the moon.

There many other bizarre superstitions associated with solar eclipse that are still believed and followed by many.

One such rule dictates that no food should be cooked during the eclipse. And that leftover foods should be consumed before the eclipse is over.

Another rile prohibits the worshipping or touching of idols of gods during this period. Even doors of temples are usually closed during eclipses.

After an eclipse, people are directed to take a bath, and change into fresh and clean clothes. 

Even doing routine activities like sleeping, urinating, defecating, sexual intercourse is prohibited during the eclipse period.

Morcha youth wing calls off Darjeeling strike - Tamang also announced two marches as part of the protest

Morcha youth wing calls off Darjeeling strike - Tamang also announced two marches as part of the protest

The youth wing of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha has withdrawn the 24-hour general strike it called in the Darjeeling hills on December 29 following an appeal by party president Binay Tamang not to inconvenience tourists.

The Gorkha Janmukti Yuva Morcha, which is allegiant to the Tamang faction of the parent party, had called the strike to protest the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the National Register of Citizens and to demand introduction of Inner Line Permit in the hills.

Tamang, who was in Siliguri on Thursday, said: “The hills are into celebrations on the occasion of Christmas and New Year’s Day. Thousands of tourists are in the hills now to enjoy their holidays. I appreciate the manner in which our youths have come forward to protest the CAA and the NRC and hope they will stand by us as we continue our movement. But I have simultaneously urged them to withdraw the December 29 strike so that locals and tourists do not face any inconvenience.”

Following Tamang’s appeal, leaders of the Yuva Morcha held a meeting to discuss the plea.

Later, Amrit Yonzon, the Yuva Morcha president, said: “The party president spoke to us and said the strike should be withdrawn. We held a meeting and decided to withdraw it.”

After the violent agitation for Gorkhaland in 2017, Tamang had declared the hills a strike-free zone.

Tamang also announced two marches as part of the protest.

Morcha supporters will take out a rally from Darjeeling to Kurseong on December 29. On January 5, they will walk downhill (from Kurseong) and the march will conclude at Darjeeling More in Siliguri,” Tamang said.

The first march will cover a distance of around 40km. The second procession is for a distance of nearly 38km.

The BJP had organised a rally in Siliguri on Tuesday in support of the CAA.

“We have seen the photos and videos of the BJP’s rally. The presence of Gorkhas in the rally was negligible. It is clear that the Gorkhas are against the CAA and NRC,” Tamang said on Thursday.

Travel operators welcomed the withdrawal of the strike call.

“We have thanked Binay Tamang in writing for his appeal and welcome the decision by the youths of his party to withdraw the strike. It would send a good message to tourists who are visiting the hills now. It is a great relief for us as many of us have started altering itineraries of tourists, particularly those who are supposed to arrive or leave on December 29,” said Samrat Sanyal, general secretary, Himalayan Hospitality and Tourism Development Network.

Trinamul leaders in Siliguri said they had suggested two routes for Mamata Banerjee’s march against the CAA and the NRC in Siliguri on January 3.

“We have proposed the Tinbatti More-AH 2-Burdwan Road-Hill Cart Road-Darjeeling More route. The other route is from Tinbatti More to Hashmi Chowk through AH 2, Burdwan Road and Hill Cart Road. It is up to our party supremo and the state leadership to take a decision,” said Ranjan Sarkar, the Darjeeling (plains) district Trinamul chief.
