During July, Telangana police conducted Operation Muskaan-XII, rescuing over 7,600 children from child labour, trafficking, and exploitation across multiple commissionerates including Malkajgiri and Cyberabad. The operation involved inspections at factories, construction sites, and public places, leading to arrests of more than 1,900 accused and registration of over 2,000 cases. Rescued children, many from Telangana and other states, were either reunited with families or placed in rehabilitation centers. The drive also included tracing missing children and raising public awareness on child protection laws.
