Further, ‘Police’ and ‘Public Order’ are State subjects under the seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India and therefore, the State Governments are primarily responsible for prevention, detection, registration and investigation of crime and for prosecuting the criminals through their law enforcement agencies. The Union Government, however, attaches highest importance to the interstate crime and has been advising the States/UTs from time to time to take immediate measures to check crimes related to Human Trafficking, which often has interstate dimensions. The Advisories on Human Trafficking are available in the Ministry’s website http://mha.nic.in/.
