How many people in rural areas have been benefited by the Act and the decline in sexual assault rate are some of the important questions to be raised, added Pradipkumar. Bishnupur CWC chairperson L Pishak who was a panelist at the discussion said that the State level consultative programme on POCSO Act has been organising since the surge in cases of sexual assault on girls below 14 years in the last two years in Manipur.
