Stressing upon the cases of violation of child rights coming to light in the district, Ngurang Achung appealed to all to work in tandem to solve the cases.

He stressed the need to follow procedure, compile the facts and expedite the process of giving justice to the child.

DC Damo termed the CWC, DCPU, CCI and Childline as the four pillars that uphold child rights and support each other by working together for the welfare of children.

Meanwhile, SP J. K. Lego spoke on the need to keep aside personal feelings and ties while dealing with child rights violation cases and advised the stakeholders to take their responsibilities seriously.
