Rescue Mission Saves Innocence: Two Minor Girls Freed from Child Marriage Horror in Assam’s Morigaon

Two Minor Girls Rescued from Trafficking in Assam’s Morigaon District

In a significant operation, the Child Helpline (CHL) in Morigaon district’s Child Helpline Morigaon has successfully rescued two minor girls from trafficking in separate incidents on Thursday, March 3. The rescue operations were carried out in collaboration with local police stations, highlighting the importance of collaborative efforts in combating human trafficking.

The first rescue occurred in Laharighat, where a minor girl had fled to a boy’s residence. The boy’s family promptly contacted CHL Morigaon through the helpline number 1098, and with the assistance of Laharighat Police Station officials, the girl was safely handed over to the authorities. The girl has since been presented before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) Morigaon and placed in a temporary shelter home pending further action.

In another case, a minor girl from Kampur, Nagaon, was rescued by CHL Morigaon in coordination with Mikirbheta Police from Ghomoti Village. It is alleged that the girl had been married off to a 41-year-old man. CHL team members intervened swiftly, recovering the girl from the man’s residence. The girl has also been presented before the CWC Morigaon and placed in a temporary shelter.

According to CHL officials, the rescue operations were a resounding success, demonstrating the effectiveness of inter-agency collaboration in tackling trafficking. "We are grateful for the support of local police stations and appreciate their prompt assistance in these rescue operations," said a CHL spokesperson. The recent rescues bring to light the prevalence of human trafficking in Assam’s Morigaon district, highlighting the urgent need for continued awareness and intervention efforts.

The rescued girls will remain in temporary shelter homes until further notice, as the local authorities work to reunite them with their families or provide necessary support and care. The incident underscores the importance of reporting suspicious cases and seeking help through the Child Helpline 1098, which remains the primary platform for reporting incidents of child trafficking and exploitation. With the collaborative efforts of local authorities and humanitarian organizations, the fight against human trafficking continues to gain momentum in Assam’s Morigaon district.
