 "SC directs disaster management body to constitute child protection cell")
The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to constitute a 'child protection cell' for the child disaster victims.
The apex court ruled the above, while hearing a plea filed by the NGO, Bachpan Bachao Aandolan
The court also stressed upon the need of usage of maximum face recognition software, while dealing with the children missing cases.
Meanwhile, the court also ordered the police to register FIRs in the children missing and untraceable cases.
