Bhubaneswar: To stop minor girls of the twin cities from eloping and later landing in trouble, the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Police have launched a new initiative ‘Prarambh’.

The objective is to spread awareness in the media as well as on social media and conduct outreach programmes, especially in the slums, organise workshops in schools/colleges about responsible use of social media, provide counselling and assistance to the victims and their families after being rescued, and make kidnapping and man missing cell more robust and effective.

KISS and SN Mohanty Foundation have joined hands with the Commissionerate Police to provide assistance. Actor-director and board member of Rugby India Rahul Bose is also supporting the campaign.

Apart from this, police have appealed to all parents of young girls and boys to sensitize their wards, and the media to join this socio-legal cause.

Elopement of minor girls has major social consequences as there is a danger of their landing in an exploitive place. Besides, their future career/family life gets affected while the boys are treated as criminals, a police release said.

Notably, the kidnapping and man missing cell has so far rescued 241 missing girls. In Bhubaneswar Urban Police District (UPD), 295 kidnapping cases have been closed in the last six months.

Most of these kidnapping cases involve the elopement of minor girls, it added.
