The Odisha State Commission for Protection of Child Rights( OSCPCR) has issued letters/directed all the district collectors of the state to ensure that no child should sleep under the open sky.

 

The homeless children along with parents are sleeping under the sky in chilling atmosphere,in many urban areas ,which is a matter of concern,for the safety and security of children ,increasing the risk of getting  Covid19,in the winter,points out the letter written by Chairperson of OSCPCR Sandhyabati Pradhan,on 18th November 2020

 

 A special awareness drive for identification of such vulnerable children ,their family members be identified and dedicated campaign be launched, so that no child should sleep under the open sky,points out the letter.
