Udaipur, May 31: Seventy child laborers rescued from Surat by the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit are set to reintegrate into mainstream society. District Superintendent of Police Dr. Amrita Duhan visited the juvenile home in Chitrakoot Nagar on Friday to meet the children and hand them over to their families after counseling.
All the rescued children are under the age of 14 and were taken to Surat for child labor. Acting on a tip-off, the anti-trafficking team coordinated with Surat police to free them.

She urged parents to remain vigilant about their children’s safety and education.
