Cyberabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar said the police had formed special teams comprising a sub inspector, a woman constable and two male police constables.

A total of seven teams are being formed to identify and rescue children trapped in trafficking. We will be using the facial recognition software ‘Darpan’ to help the children unite



with the parents if they are run away or were separated due to some reasons,” he said.

The police have identified clusters where children were found forced into labour work in previous years. “Our teams along with other departments will coordinate the rescue and rehabilitation work,” Sajjanar said.
