children of Bangladesh become
victims of trafficking and are sold to
brothels in various states including
Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai and West
Bengal. Besides, many women and
children are being caught by the Law
Enforcement Agency in India as
infiltrator and they lead miserable life
in jails and safe homes in India. In the
border area of Petropole, there are
some shops and they give “Adhar card”
to the trafficked girls in exchange of
500/600 rupees. In many cases,
traffickers of both countries are
involved in supplying these cards. It is
also known that in past several
companies used to supply these cards
taking tender from government. As a
result, brokers could easily collect
these cards most of which were fake.

and
Bangladeshi mission in India are

importance
and
working
in
coordination with relevant ministries.
In the meantime, many victims of
women and children are being
repatriated and the process is
continuing.
