ANSWER: Rescuing children from trafficking
 
  • After successful implementation of ‘Operation Smile’, the railway police started implementing ‘Operation Muskaan’ to trace missing and destitute children and reunite them with their parents.

  • The main aim of the programme was to prevent child trafficking and rescue children from persons who tried to engage them in begging, sexual trade and other antisocial activities.
  • Under this programme, specially trained police teams would screen all children residing in shelter homes, railway platforms, bus stands, roads and religious places.
