Operation Muskan aims to rescue and rehabilitate child laborers, with the community urged to come together in this mission.
During the 10th coordination meeting of Operation Muskan, efforts to rescue missing children, school dropouts, and those involved in begging, child labor, human trafficking, and bonded labor were discussed. SP Srinivasa Rao described child labor as a disease that destroys childhood and potential, pointing out poverty as a significant factor that forces children into such situations.
The meeting also focused on the need for parental responsibility in ensuring children are not pushed into labor.
