ON MAY 20, 2026, Sanjog , a social impact organisation that works on anti-human trafficking, published an Anti-Human Trafficking Unit Watch Report tracing the functionality of Anti-Human Trafficking Units (AHTUs) across all Indian states and Union Territories (UTs) between 2010 and 2025 across three phases. The report draws primarily on information received from states and UTs through RTI applications, along with inputs from lawyers, civil society organisations, and survivor testimonies. Anti-Human Trafficking Units were envisioned by the Ministry of Home Affairs as specialised units charged with preventing trafficking, conducting rescues, investigating cases, prosecuting traffickers, and aiding the rehabilitation of survivors. Their composition envisages trained law enforcement personnel working in structured coordination with Child Welfare Committees (CWCs), District Child Protection Units (DCPUs), legal aid authorities, and shelters. The report which opens with National Crime Records Bureaus (NCRB) Crime in India report reflects a rising trend in human trafficking up to 2016, when reported cases peaked at 8,132, followed by a subsequent decline. This decline, however, must be read against a troubling backdrop. The Supreme Court, while hearing a Special Leave Petition filed by a father whose eighteen-month-old daughter went missing in 2011 and remains untraced, noted that 47,000 children continue to remain untraced to date. The report cautions that the post-2016 decline in reported trafficking cases may reflect a failure of institutional documentation rather than any real reduction in the incidence of trafficking. The AHTU Watch Report assesses the functioning of Anti-Human Trafficking Units through six interdependent indicators. The reports findings across six indicators The AHTU Watch Report assesses the functioning of Anti-Human Trafficking Units through six interdependent indicators. These include: notification status, staffing and stability, budget and infrastructure, FIR autonomy, case progression, and outcomes. The research covers RTI filings and data analysis across all thirty-six states and UTs, interviews with Superintendents of Police and constables associated with AHTUs, inputs from civil society organisations, and structured consultations with survivor leaders and their collectives. At the outset, the report raises a pointed question about the apparent decline in trafficking cases after 2016 on whether it reflects an actual reduction in trafficking or merely a decline in reporting, documentation, and institutional disclosure, particularly in high-incidence states like Assam, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh. Since the formation of AHTUs, the Ministry of Home Affairs has issued twenty-two advisories and operational guidelines, including advisories on treating human trafficking as organised crime and on trafficking of foreign nationals, the implementation of which, the report finds, remains fragmented across the country. On notification, relatively less densely populated UTs like Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Ladakh have a hundred percent rate of notified and functional AHTUs, while Uttar Pradesh has only thirty-five functional units out of seventy-five notified. The report underscores that notification as a separate entity, and distinct from a local police station, makes AHTUs more accessible to survivors and reduces their hesitancy in approaching the unit. On staffing and stability, AHTU personnel across states carry the additional burden of general policing duties, significantly undermining their functioning as specialised investigative units. A survivor quoted in the report noted that AHTU officials were overburdened with general policing responsibilities and often unavailable for trafficking cases. Uttar Pradesh, notably, saw a complete reversal between phases from nearly all AHTU members carrying additional charges to none doing so by Phase 3. On budget and infrastructure, the data is fractured. Some states and UTs have no dedicated funds and rely entirely on general police budgets, while others like Arunachal Pradesh received sanctioned funds but showed inconsistent utilisation across phases. The report notes that the absence of a dedicated budget is a reflection of governmental callousness toward the seriousness of trafficking offences, and it pushes the financial burden of legal follow-ups and travel onto survivors themselves. On training and capacity building, the pattern is one of persistent inconsistency. Training remains exclusively police-centric, overlooking social workers, legal aid authorities, and rehabilitation stakeholders. Content is largely confined to general legal awareness, missing crucial areas like labour trafficking identification and trauma-informed investigation. The lack of specialised training in handling trafficking, according to the survivor testimonies in the report, also leads to misdirected insensitive questions, poor documentation, lack of clarity on survivor rights and an erroneous classification of trafficking cases as ordinary labour disputes or kidnapping cases. In order to strengthen the training and capacity building of the AHTU personnels, the report recommends the development of a continuous training framework with a standardized and uniform training syllabus involving various stakeholders. On FIR autonomy and case progression, the data reveals heavy reliance on local police with minimal transfer of cases to AHTUs and even fewer investigations conducted by them. Delhi transferred thirty-one cases to its AHTU in Phase 3 but recorded zero investigations. The conviction rate across states is abysmal as states and UTs like Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and the Andamans reported zero convictions. Telangana stands out, with 980 chargesheets filed as a result of AHTU investigations. The conviction rate across states is abysmal as states and UTs like Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and the Andamans reported zero convictions. On coordination, the report finds the multi-stakeholder architecture structurally fragile across all phases. Coordination with the Crime Multi Agency Centre, launched in 2020 to facilitate interstate information sharing on trafficking, remains weak. Victim compensation, the report notes therefore, is contingent on the quality of documentation and offence classification by law enforcement, which is itself premised on inter-agency coordination that largely does not exist. The consolidated national findings reflect a system afflicted by overburdened personnel, fluctuating FIR autonomy, inconsistent training, and an almost inconsequential rate of trafficker conviction. Telangana and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are identified as having relatively strong institutional practices. Uttar Pradesh and Delhi fall into the category of moderate but uneven functionality. Meghalaya and Rajasthans Bikaner district are identified as structurally fragile but evidence-documented contexts. The reports findings echo the Supreme Courts directions in G. Ganesh v. State of Tamil Nadu (2026), in which while dealing with missing children and child trafficking, the Court directed the Union and state governments to eliminate the dormancy functioning of the AHTUs and ensure the immediate restoration of trafficked children. The malignancy of human trafficking networks, the report concludes, can only be combated by an Anti-Human Trafficking Unit whose functioning is equally systematic, and equally committed to dismantling those networks.

Ravi Reclaimed: Shaping Punjabs Past & Redefining Its Future
The countless stories which Ravi has been carrying through times of yore cannot be appropriated by a mere 78 years of conflict narrative between India and Pakistan COLONEL SATISH SINGH LALOTRA For centuries, the river Ravi has flowed through the heart of Punjabs history, culture and civilisation. Revered in ancient texts, celebrated in folklore, and crucial to the agricultural prosperity of the region, Ravi has been much more than a watercourse. Flowing through myriad names, the kind of which most of Indians may not be even aware of, viz., Vedic Parushni, Puranic Irvati, Greek Hydraotes, river Ravi is one such water body of our sub-continent which is arguably the most talked about, referred as well as venerated that meets its more than equal in the form of the Indus. It is not for nothing that the ubiquitous phrase- Heth Vage Ravi Darya or Below flows the river Ravi became the sine qua non in most of the songs and stories of Punjab, both past and contemporary. Most of the contemporary writers and poets of the Punjabi language in India lament that Punjabis have always written poetry and even prose around their rivers that have been left back in Pakistan. Whereas Pakistan, on the other hand, thinks most of Punjabs rivers have been left back in India. This is true more so in the case of the river Ravi, unlike other rivers of the Indus basin. With 23rd April 2026 having gone past, reminding all of us of the completion of more than one year of the holding in abeyance of the IWT ( Indus Water Treaty) in the wake of the infamous Pahalgam attack by Pakistan-based terrorists, it is time to cast a glance at one of the major river systems of this IWT ( Ravi) from an altogether different perspective. That of a water system which has bound both warring nations (India & Pakistan), ranging from livelihood, customs, culture, poetry and literature with each other for aeons. Unlike other rivers of the Indus basin, the Ravi is fed more by monsoon than by glaciers. Though having a modest yield, Ravis impact on the ecology and on human societies has been deep and nothing short of being stupendous. It would be worth each drop of water of the river Ravi to undertake a short ethnographical view of this water system on the eve of the first year of its scrapping( though temporarily) of the IWT by India that will enable the readers of this column of mine to understand its connection with its people, on both sides of the Radcliff line. Those who worship it, fear it, and on whose banks in 1929 the clarion call for the independence of India ( Poorna swaraj) was given by the first PM, Nehru, Ravi still rules the mental firmament of this sub-continent as no other river system. The precursor to this write-up of mine stemmed from my recent train journey ( Rajdhani Express) while coming back from my home town Jammu to Delhi and crossing the river Ravi that has been the traditional boundary between the erstwhile state of J&K and Punjab for centuries. The sight of still damaged Madhopur barrage on this river, wrought by last years torrential rains in August 2025, jolted me back to the stark realities of todays geopolitical situation as it confronts our sub-continent. The fact that the Pakistani side of Punjab was as badly affected by this rivers raging waves last monsoon as was the Indian side needs no elaboration. That river Ravi stood at the crossroads of all major historical events of this sub-continent dating back to the Indus valley civilisation circa 3300-2800 BC, so central that the first phase of Harappan urban development has been aptly named as Ravi phase is in itself a statement that needs no further elucidation. The fact that even the British placed this water body in the 1846 Treaty of Amritsar as a vital geographical and political boundary to define the newly formed borders of the Dogra princely state of J&K under its suzerainty, marking the regions official transition from Sikh rule to Dogra ownership, underscores Ravis relevance across myriad time lines. As if this was not enough, astounding discoveries talk of rosewood and deodar logs floating down the river 5000 years ago. Fish caught in its paleo channels forming an important part of the diet and surprisingly advanced urban development adapting to floods rather than merely fighting them, Ravi has much to offer to its admirers, cutting across myriad time lines. The fall of urban Harappa is also traced to the decisive avulsion of the river away from the settlement. As river Parushni in Rigveda, circa 1500 BC, Ravis banks were the battleground for Dashrajna or the war of the Ten kings. Indira, the lord of the free-flowing rivers, is described as crossing the woolly foam of Parushni. And even today, Gaddi shepherds set off on their long remembered migratory routes with woolly sheep along this river. Somewhere around the 5th century BC, ancient grammarian Yaska recorded that the Parushni of the Rig-Veda is same as Iravati. It is Iravati that is found in Ramayana and Mahabharata, where Sita found refuge in its forested banks. Yaksa saysThey call it Iravati as Parushni; a mountain river with a sinuous path. In the headwater forests deep in the valleys of Himachal Pradesh are found the conifer trees going by the name Rei, and hence the name of Ravi. In the 4th century BC, Alexander of Macedonia sailed the Ravi several times, forded it and, as was his habit, drove the native tribes to a bloody battle. The Greeks recorded the river as Hydraotis or Hyarotis at that time. If one goes further upstream in Himachal Pradesh, the headwaters of the Ravi were always the lifeline of the relatively isolated Chamba kingdom. The river system connected high mountain passes and fierce deities with the capitals of Bharmour and Chamba. The ancient Manimahesh Kailash yatra still traces its origins from this
