Imphal, June 29 2015 :
Manipur Alliance for Child Rights (MACR) has urged the State Govt to come out with child rights protection schemes and implement the existing child right protection units effectively.
Addressing a press meet today at Manipur Press Club, Montu Ahanthem, convener of MACR said that although child protection units were opened at every district, the same are yet to be functional.
The Manipur State Commission for Child Rights is ineffective as the Commission is headless, Montu said while pointing out that there are a toal of 84 child sexual assault cases from the period 2012 to June 15, 2015 .
Montu Ahanthem strongly demanded the State Govt to formulate mechanism to make child rights protection units and schemes effective during the ongoing Assembly session.
