Fake age-proof certificates a cause for concern: NGO to MHA

The Hindu  

Fake date-of-birth certificates issued by schools, particularly in the bordering States, are being misused by human trafficking syndicates to conceal the real age of victims, alleges non-government organisation Shakti Vahini. “Issuing school certificate without maintaining any records and the same being used in the judicial process in child trafficking cases is a major concern,” states the letter, stating that it was also a major concern in view of the country’s internal security. The department also issued notice to all the District Elementary Education officers and the Deputy Inspectors of School, Assam, to instruct all the block and circle level officers and school authority not to issue the age proof certificate or transfer certificates without maintaining school records,” said the NGO letter to the MHA. Stating that it was in the interest of justice for the human trafficking victims, as well as for the internal security of the country, that fake certificates were not issued by schools, the NGO has urged the Home Ministry to issue necessary advisories to all the bordering States, including the human trafficking prone areas.
