There was a discussion in a program held in Bharatpur on Wednesday that the danger of Chitwan being known as a very risky district for human trafficking has increased due to the practice of many crimes occurring within the area but not being punished. Such a serious issue was raised in the program which was hosted by Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deepak Thapa.
Advocacy Madan Thapa, while presenting a working paper in the program, said that there is a need to develop an effective investigation mechanism in Chitwan, facilitate the complaint process by protecting the privacy of the victims, establish a monitoring mechanism through the local level and improve the evidence collection technology. "Otherwise, a district like Chitwan will become a silent trafficking corridor," he warned.
In an interaction program against human trafficking organized by Chitwan's joint campaign against sexual violence, Advocate Thapa said that there are very few complaints against such crimes in Chitwan. He said that in the past three financial years, Chitwan Police had registered seven cases in the financial year 079/80, one in 080/81 and three in 081/82.
In the report of the Human Rights Commission, Chitwan is developing as a destination district for human trafficking through sexual exploitation and labor exploitation of women in entertainment areas such as double restaurants, cafes, massage parlors, dance bars, and said that everyone should be vigilant. "There is no longer a situation to control human trafficking by just monitoring the border," said Thapa.
The Superintendent of Police (SP) of Nepal Police's Human Trafficking Investigation Bureau, Narendra Kunwar, said that 151 cases of human trafficking were filed across the country in the last financial year. He said that the police and the community should be alert and aware because the ways of human trafficking are changing. "As the criminals have become very clever, the police have refined the investigation method accordingly," SP Kunwar said. Inspector General of Police Deepak Thapa, the chief guest of the
program, said that young people who read and write are now at risk of being trafficked. A new way of selling has come. There are new forms of trafficking such as visit visas, marriage bureaus, dating apps, egg extraction of teenage girls. "Nepal Police is strictly against this style," said Inspector General Thapa.
Meena Kharel, coordinator of the joint campaign against sexual violence, opined that with the change in the style of crime, the need for the society and the police to prepare accordingly has increased . Co-convenor Sangeeta Bhattarai said that if strict measures are not taken against trafficking by making laws according to the new times and the nature of crime, it will harm the citizens, society and the country and the international image will be damaged.
