Human trafficking remains a grave issue in Chhattisgarh, with both children and adults falling prey to traffickers who exploit them for labor, sexual exploitation, or forced marriages. The state has been a transit point for trafficking rings that operate across India and even internationally. Authorities in Chhattisgarh are collaborating with national agencies to disrupt these networks and rescue victims. Recent investigations have led to the rescue of dozens of women and children who were being held captive for illegal purposes.
Law enforcement agencies have been cracking down on trafficking rings through coordinated raids and intelligence sharing with NGOs. Efforts are also being made to educate communities about the dangers of trafficking, particularly in rural areas where vulnerable individuals are often targeted. The state government has introduced stricter laws and penalties for traffickers, and survivors are being provided with shelter, medical care, and legal aid to support their recovery and reintegration into society.
