Rescued a West Bengal minor girl at Hyderabad

HELP received a mail on 12^th of oct 2010 at 3.58pm from Ms.Nisha & Sayan, Grope developpment , Kolkatta regarding the missing girl from west Bengal and requested to rescue her. Immediately HELP initiated efforts and rescued the girl on next day ie., 13^th Oct through one of network members who are working in Hyderabad and surrounding areas.

A minor girl aged 17 years old of Maghpala village of Coochbehar District, West Bengal trafficked by Susanta Mondal on 14^th august 2010. Family members of the Girl put a missing case in a local police station on 21^st August 2010.

Family members of the girl got a phone call by the girl and came to realized that the girl had trafficked to Hyderabad and getting pressure by the perpetrator to do prostitution and hence she requested to save her immediately. The local NGO named..SPAR which is working on prevention of trafficking approached HELP through Grouppe Development and informed where about of issue.

Based on the phone number received from the girl, HELP informed to network partner Mr. Chandra from CARPED organization, Hyderabad city. They immediately reacted on the issue and personally involved in the rescue operation with the support of police and succeeded in rescuing the girl on next day itself (13^th ) and arrested the perpetrator.

We say thanks to Mr. Chandra and his team members for their efforts and cooperation. This is an obvious example and evidence for the need of a strong and effective network with NGOs in demand and source areas irrespective of their work on trafficking issue.

Groupe develppment is vigorously moving ahead with its efforts to build linkages in between source and destination organization so as to fortify the rescue mechanisms. As a part of these efforts a strong network has been built and this issue is the clear evidence. This network resulted in rapid rescue operation and success.

Hope the coordination will continue for ever and bring best results to rescue more girls in future…..
