CIC Urges NCPCR to Actively Monitor Child Abuse Complaints in Karnataka School
The Central Information Commission (CIC) has directed the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) to actively monitor complaints rather than merely forwarding them. This follows allegations of physical abuse and inadequate education in sign language for children with hearing and speech disabilities at a school in Gulbarga, Karnataka. The CIC noted that NCPCR's communications were general and lacked evidence of specific inquiries or inspections, emphasizing the need for thorough follow-up on such serious claims.
