"Poverty, illiteracy, and ignorance are the reasons behind the crimes happening today. The government is working economically and educationally to prevent human trafficking, due to the awareness of the police officers, there has been a big decline in human trafficking, but this is not enough, human trafficking should not happen at all. Cybercrime is also increasing, there are innocent people in Chhattisgarh, so it is necessary to make them aware, our government is also working in this direction. Economic independence is very important for women, so we effectively operated small schemes at the grassroots level," Baghel said.
