Hyderabad: Ten out of 25 women, said to have been trafficked to
Dubai during September and October in the post-lockdown period, safely reached their homes in
Hyderabad.
Another ten were also rescued and are waiting for their visa papers, while five others are still being traced.
The rescue mission was carried out by the Indian

Share Article DMK Parliamentary Party leader T.R. Baalu on Thursday sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention to stop abolition of provincial councils in Sri Lanka, claiming it would destroy the self-respect of the Tamils in the country.
“The Prime Minister should warn that the move would affect the relationship between India and Sri Lanka. The abolition is part of the Sri Lankan government’s attempt to make Tamils a secondary citizen,” he said in a statement.
Mr. Baalu charged that ever since the Rajapaksa brothers have come to power, they have deprived Tamils of their rights, self-respect and dignity and it was a matter of concern that the BJP government at the centre remained has remained a mute spectator.
