NCPCR takes cognisance
Priyank Kanoongo, National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) Chairperson, said, “We have taken cognizance in this matter. By issuing a notice to the Goa government, we will provide a detailed report. We need a strict law and its implementation. Stringent implementation of every law especially of POCSO and the Juvenile Justice Act by every agency is the way to protect children. In India, POCSO is itself a strict law, we don’t need a new law. We need its (POCSO) implementation in a better convergent manner. Once the test report is out, then we will see the further course of action.”
