DIFFICULTIES
Private vehicles required for such operations, and
to arrange these vehicles are difficult task.
•
Hospital doesn’t cooperate with police, some of
the government hospital near these rescue spot
does not allow medical test after 18 hrs.
•
•
required more man power for this operations.
CHALLENGES
Hotels and lodges have more doors, although we
have proper information, possibility of accused
absconding is high.
•
Victim girls release by court orders and again
they trap into this trade.
•
There is no proper coordination among the

Some of JMFC court, although not having

releasing them.
