Due to a lack of juvenile homes and rehabilitation centres, Circle Officer Kesang Wangda informed the Arunachal Pradesh State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (APSCPCR) that the four districts of East Kameng, West Kameng, Tawang, and Pakke Kessang are experiencing difficulties in the correction and protection of children.

“The protection of the child should go hand-in-hand with child correction,” the CO informed to the APSCPCR team led by Chairperson Gumri Ringu, which is on a visit to West Kameng district.

During the meeting with the commission members, the legal cum prosecution officer, DCPU Bomdila also stressed that “in the absence of observation homes, orphanages, etc, the protection of children and their rights are hindered.”
