Imphal, April 20 2022:
Ukhrul District Alliance for Child Rights (UDACR) has strongly condemned alleged thrashing of three inmates of Ningrin Club-Destitute Home for boys located at Alungtang, Ukhrul on April 9 night and April 10 morning.
According to a statement of UDACR, the act of cruelty to children especially those already considered as children in need of care and protection is a bitter experience and should be addressed according to law.
The existing child safety and protection mechanism of the state should also take their responsibility seriously so that such inhuman incident does not happen in the future.
UDACR also urged management of the Children Home to adhere to zero tolerance policy towards corporal punishment and resolve the matter through the mandate of JJ Act particularly Section 82 which prohibits corporal punishment in the CCI.
