The National Commission for Women has formed teams for probing the flesh trade channels which have been reported from Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Delhi to the Middle East.
"The NCW has been deeply disturbed with the recent spurt of missing girls in NCR (National Capital Region). In view of this, we have taken up this issue and inquiry committees have been constituted," a senior official at NCW told.
According to the NCW official, the investigation team will be probing the alleged trafficking of women to the Middle East from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh. Meanwhile, other committees will be formed for investigating the mysterious deaths of women in south Gujarat's cotton fields, who have been suspected to be trafficked through Udaipur and Dungurpur districts of Rajasthan.
"The NCW has found that Nepali women were also trafficked to and from Delhi and Uttar Pradesh," the official added.
Recently, NCW chairperson Girija Vyas said 62.5% of 378 districts were affected by trafficking of women and children for commercial sexual exploitation.
"There are 1,794 identified places of origin or source areas from where women are trafficked and 1,016 places where the commercial activities thrive," Vyas had said.
