Union Home Ministry Advises States on Combating Overseas Recruitment Trafficking
The Union Home Ministry has issued an advisory warning of a rising trend in human trafficking through overseas recruitment scams, where individuals are lured by high-paying job offers and trapped in fraudulent 'CyberFraud Centres.' The ministry directed states and Union Territories to implement specialised enforcement drives, including mandatory verification of recruitment agencies, vigilant monitoring of social media and job portals, and strengthened coordination among police, cyber cells, labour authorities, and anti-human trafficking units. It also urged the use of digital tools and public awareness campaigns to combat these scams.
