Four Nepali women being sent to Muscat detained at Gorakhpur | Volunteers of a social service organisation and the personnel of the Anti-Human Trafficking Cell of Uttar Pradesh Police at Gorakhpur detained four Nepalese women. Reportedly, as per the statement of the women who were taken into custody at the Gorakhpur Railway Station, they
were intending to go to Muscat. These women had entered India through the Sanauli
border post. Although all the four women had their respective passports with them,
only two of them could show their endorsed visas for Muscat. "Our team visited
the railway station along with a Nepali counsellor. When she saw these women and
spoke to them, they gave some wrong information, which in turn sounded fishy and
made us to suspect something was amiss. When we asked them where they were heading,
initially they said Oman and again changed their statement saying, New Delhi.
When our counsellor asked them for their passports, some said they had it while
others said they didn't. So, we found them suspicious," said Gyan Kumar, co-ordinator,
Maanava Sewa Sansthan, Gorakhpur. Amidst such confusing utterances by the women,
the police believe that one of the women named Dilmaya was trying to send the
other three to Muscat by bringing them from Nepal. She claimed that they were
going to Muscat because they had their relatives residing and working there. "These
people held us for interrogation. We asked them either to let us go to Nepal or
else allow us to go to Muscat. We have our relatives there," said Dilmaya. A couple
of months ago, police officials of Gorakhpur had detained five women who were
allegedly being trafficked to Gulf countries for flesh trade. Reportedly, a pimp
was escorting these women to Mumbai from where they were to be sent to certain
destinations in the Middle East.

Lalu discusses Congress-RJD alliance with Sonia for Jharkhand polls
New Delhi: Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Saturday called on Congress
Party President Sonia Gandhi to hold talks on possibilities for forming an alliance
between the two parties for the Jharkhand Assembly elections. Yadav who was accompanied
by former Union Minister Premchand Gupta had a 30 minutes long discussion with
Sonia Gandhi. Gupta informed the media after the meeting that, Yadav presented
the proposal for the polls expected to be held in early 2010. In the last Lok
Sabha elections in Jharkhand, Congress had entered into an alliance with the Shibu
Soren led Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), dumping the RJD. Last week, the Congress
sent a team to Jharkhand to assess the political situation and find out prospects
for an alliance. The team failed to find unanimity on whether the Congress should
form an alliance with the JMM or the RJD or with former Chief Minister Babulal
Marandi's Jharkhand Vikas Morcha. Jharkhand has witnessed six governments in last
nine years. It is presently under President's Rule following the resignation of
Chief Minister Shibu Soren in January. |
