Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 22: Mukti NGO, Jammu based Non Governmental Organization working for the welfare of women folk today appealed the Jammu and Kashmir government & allied departments including Police, Prosecution department, State Legal Service Authority & Social Welfare department to abide by all the provisions of the Protection of Children From Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act 2012 & rules.
In a fervent appeal to the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha & Chief Secretary B. V. R. Subrahmanyam, Nidhi Sharma, Chairperson of the Mukti Organization demanded full implementation of all the provisions of the POCSO Act in the Jammu & Kashmir Union Territory to ensure zero tolerance towards abuse & crime against Children .
In her plea to the government, Nidhi stated that under the POCSO rules framed by the Union government last year, all the State governments have been asked to formulate a child protection policy based on the principle of zero-tolerance to violence against children.
Citing the recent rape case of a minor girl registered in police station Nagrota, Jammu on 24/ Dec/2020 wherein the negligence & insensitivity of investigating officer was exposed wherein the IO had failed to perform his duty & who was later after the intervention of the LG Manoj Sinha was removed, the Mukti NGO chairperson said only trained & sensitive people should be engaged in dealing sexual abuse & rape cases involving minors.
She further alleged that in this case registered in P/S Nagrota involving the minor girl who is a differently-abled child (a Divyang child ), even the role of Child Welfare Committee CWC remained lackadaisical as they appointed the mandatory support person only on 19/Jan/2021 almost a month later wherein the rape case was reported on 24/Dec/2020 & as per the provisions of the POCSO rules the Child Welfare Committee had to provide assistance & appoint Support Person as expeditiously as possible. |
