10 Children Rescued from Beggar Rings in Major Operation

In a significant crackdown on organized begging networks, authorities rescued 10 children who were being exploited as beggars. The operation was conducted following several complaints and reports about minors being forced to beg in hazardous conditions by organized groups.

The rescued children, all under the age of 14, were found in various locations across the city, where they were coerced into begging under the supervision of criminal gangs. Officials revealed that these children were often subjected to inhumane treatment and deprived of basic rights like education and a safe environment.

The authorities have transferred the children to protective custody and are working to reunite them with their families where possible. Counseling sessions and rehabilitation plans have also been initiated to help the children recover from their traumatic experiences.

Law enforcement agencies are continuing their efforts to dismantle the begging syndicates responsible for exploiting vulnerable minors. Officials have urged citizens to report any instances of child exploitation to support the ongoing crackdown and ensure the safety and well-being of children.
