BHOPAL: A day after demonetisation on November 8, Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi had said that banning highvalue currency notes would curb child trafficking. But two months later, the child rights activist expressed his disappointment saying, "I'd expected black money-driven human trafficking would be crippled completely following demonetisation.But no significant effort is being seen on ground." "Demonetisation is a way, and not the end in itself for checking trafficking," said Satyarthi, who has waged a war on child labour and trafficking through his movement 'Bachpan Bachao Andolan'. He lamented there was no comprehensive law in the country to fight human trafficking. "It's time citizens came forward and refused services of unscrupulous placement agencies," he said.
