Three women from Nepal rescued from Bagdogra airport before being trafficked to Gulf countries

Siliguri, Sep 30 (UNI) Three women from Nepal, age between 18 to 45, have been rescued at the Bagdogra airport on Saturday before being flown to the Gulf countries for possible trafficking, police said on Sunday.
All of them were from Jhapa district of Nepal and they were going to the Gulf to work as domestic helpers. They had no documents.
"The agents usually provide such girls/women with a number of the contact person in Delhi. But even this number was not provided to them. First they told that they were going to meet their relatives in Delhi. Our volunteers ( KUK) asked them to provide details of the relatives but they could not give any details. When they were told about the possible consequences of travelling unsafely to a unknown place they understood the risk involved and agreed to go back. They were safely taken to the Kakarvitta Police Station and handed over to the World Mission Outreach Organisation (WMOO) for short shelter and safe restoration," an NGO working on the issue said.
