A Bill proposing 10 years punishment for those engaging in
human trafficking is on anvil and will be introduced in Parliament shortly. The
Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill is
currently with a committee of group of ministers. Sunita Krishnan of Prajwala
NGO said that 10-year punishment for those engaging in human trafficking is
proposed in the Bill, which also includes bonded labour, sexual exploitation,
pornography, begging and categorises them as heinous crimes. It will be placed
