Bal Kalyan Sangh secretary Sanjay Mishra after reaching Ranchi railway station with the rescued girl on Friday
RANCHI: Twenty-six minor girls, who were rescued from traffickers in different parts of Delhi and surrounding areas through the state’s Integrated Rehabilitation and Resource Centre (IRRC), arrived at the railway station here on Friday.
The girls were languishing in different rescue centres of the national capital for over a year as their return was delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the non-completion of required processes, including getting permission from the local child welfare committee and the police besides address verification.
Among the rescued girls, eight each are from Gumla and Sahebganj districts and five from West Singhbhum district. The others belong to Bokaro Dhanbad and Simdega districts. Among them is a girl who is only eight years old.
