The victim, who was saved by the task force along with the immigration centre at Pazunduang, had made a distress call to her family upon which they sought help from an NGO. As per source, the authorities acted on information gathered from Impulse Case info centre Myanmar &#8211; an NGO working in the area of human trafficking.
