The Centre has issued order to Madhya Pradesh government to immediately shut an adoption agency following gross violation of norms, the Women and Child Development Ministry (WCD) said on Friday.
The ministry said an inquiry committee set up by it observed gross violation by Bhopal-based Kilkari (Udaan) of the provisions of the law under Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 and Adoption Regulations, 2017 pertaining to sourcing, care and placement of children in adoption.
The ministry stated the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA), the government's nodal agency monitoring adoption in the country, had received many complaints from domestic and foreign parents against Kilkari (Udaan).
"Taking due cognisance of the matter, @MinistryWCD has issued order to the #MadhyaPradesh Government recommending immediate closure of the Specialised Adoption Agency, Kilkari (Udaan) and transferring of children from the agency with immediate effect," it said.
