At the one-day training programme of district-level officers on Operation Muskan-III organised at the Crime Branch Headquarters here, he said,”Ten teams have already been constituted to rescue missing children from Odisha by visiting different places in India in the second phase of the drive between July 31 and August 13.”
The training programme was organised to sensitize police officials about different aspects of law, procedure and handling of children, Sharma had said in his tweet.
