NHRC’s notice to Odisha and UP spotlights gaps in inter‑state action against tribal child trafficking
The case highlights the role of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) as a statutory watchdog under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, and underscores challenges in implementing anti‑trafficking laws such as the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. It also brings out the need for effective inter‑state police coordination and administrative oversight by District Magistrates.
