Odisha Adivasi Girl Trafficking Case Under NHRC Probe
Bhubaneswar: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has initiated a probe into the alleged trafficking of an Adivasi girl from Odisha, raising serious concerns about the safety of vulnerable communities in the state.
According to reports, the girl was trafficked under exploitative circumstances, prompting intervention after local activists highlighted the issue.
The NHRC has sought detailed information from state authorities, including the police and welfare departments, to ensure accountability and protection of tribal rights.
The case underscores persistent challenges in safeguarding tribal populations against trafficking networks.
Rights groups have demanded stronger enforcement of child protection laws, improved rehabilitation measures, and community awareness programs to prevent recurrence.
Officials have assured cooperation with the NHRC inquiry, while civil society organisations continue to press for systemic reforms to protect marginalised communities.
