Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary targets human trafficking and industrial growth

Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary inaugurated the Eastern Zonal Conference-cum-Consultation on Missing Children and Human Trafficking in Patna. Organized by the Bihar Home Department, the conference addressed the recovery of missing children, the prevention of human trafficking, and the rehabilitation of victims.

Choudhary emphasized a zero-tolerance approach to trafficking and highlighted the 'Naya Savera 3.0' campaign, which focuses on awareness, rescue, and rehabilitation. He noted that victims require not only immediate relief but also skill development and employment opportunities to ensure independent lives.

Additionally, the Chief Minister linked industrial development to crime prevention, stating that increased industrial investment—including recent MoUs worth over Rs 51,000 crore in the steel industry—would create local jobs and reduce the economic migration that contributes to trafficking risks.
