Ministry of Women and Child Development has formulated a draft Bill on “Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2016” for further consultations with all stakeholders. It aims to create a strong legal, economic and social environment against trafficking of persons and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.

The draft Bill has taken in to account the various aspects of trafficking and its punishments as defined in section 370- 373 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 and aims to include other offences/ provisions which are not dealt in any other law for the purpose of trafficking, such as (1) penal provisions for the disclosure of identity of the victim of trafficking and witness (2) use of narcotic drug or psychotropic substance or alcohol for the purpose of trafficking (3) use of chemical substance or hormones for the purpose of exploitation. The draft Bill has also taken in to its ambit the ‘placement agencies’ by making mandatory for them to also register for the purposes of this Act.

The proposed draft Bill aims to place dedicated institutional mechanism at District, State and Central level. It also envisages a designated Agency for the investigation of offences. It provides for Protection Homes and Special Homes for short term and long term rehabilitation support. For speedy trial with a view to increase prosecution and to reduce the trauma faced by the victims, the proposed draft Bill provides for establishing Special Courts in each district and experienced Special Prosecutors. Recovery of back wages and other monetary losses of the victim of trafficking is also proposed.

The draft Bill provides for mandatory reporting within 24 hours by a Police Officer, Public servant, any officer or employee of Protection Home or Special Home having custody of the victim of trafficking to the District Anti-Trafficking Committee or in case of child victim to the Child Welfare Committee. For the effective implementation of the proposed Act and for the welfare and rehabilitation of the victims an Anti- Trafficking Fund will be created.

Respected PM, Kindly establish eco-friendly industries. In Kerala, tonnes of jack fruits are getting decayed during the season. As you know, the jack fruit is the best nourishes food for health and it improves immunity thereby prevent diseases. But, normally, it can not be stored for a long time. If gov. provide agricultural industries suitable for making value added products from these types of wonderful fruits, it will be very helpful to farmers. It will accelerate our economy also.

Government must ban the street beggars with child, this thing helps in abducting and trafficking of child in the country on very large scale. Majorly street beggars child found on public places like traffice signals, religious places, fun fair etc. where mostly police is available/or must be available to execute such ban effectively.

IMHO the Government committee working on this bill should draw inferences the (in)famous case of Ms. Devyani Chaubal as a case study. The specific learnings as I foresee could be in: 1. The US bill on the relevant subject. 2. The empowerment of the DA ( Preet Bharara) and Indian equivalent 3. Investigating powers and coordination with agencies . 4. Study the role of the so-called NGOs who purportedly 'Evacuated' the maid servant of the diplomat from the country. Border controls.

ट्राफिक सिग्नल पर खड़े बच्चे जो भीख मांगते हैं और बड़े बच्चों को साथ में रखकर उनके नाम पर भीख मांगते हैं तपती धूप में 45 डिग्री के तापमान में 1-2 साल के बच्चे गोद में लेकर भीख मांगते हैं वहीं पर ट्रैफिक पुलिस खड़ी रहती है जब भी उनको कार्यवाही करना चाहिए
