Three Manipuri siblings to reunite with family
The Hindu | Devesh K. Pandey | New Delhi, April 16
Three Manipuri siblings who were allegedly trafficked by their maternal aunt after the death of their mother and sent to an institution in Uttar Pradesh where they were made to work under pitiable, inhuman and unhygienic conditions for almost six years will finally board a flight back to their native place on Tuesday for a happy reunion with their family. The victims' aunt is still at large.
On several occasions, the father tried to contact his sister-in-law and the institution to know the progress of his children, but in vain. He then visited the institution in November-December last year and was shocked to discover that his children had been kept in a pitiable condition, in a fearsome environment. The shabbily clothed siblings had forgotten their mother tongue and instead could communicate only in Hindi. The father tried to take the children along, but the institution officials refused citing rules.
In an earlier order, the committee cited a Supreme Court directive stating that “The State of Manipur and Assam are directed to ensure that no child below the age of 12 years or those at primary school level are sent outside to pursue education to other States until further orders.”
