Delhi Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung Thursday sought a report on the functioning of the city's observation homes, two days after 40 inmates escaped from a juvenile home here.
Jung also formed a committee of government officials and Delhi Police and directed them to submit a comprehensive report regarding the functioning of the homes within the next two weeks, said a government statement.
He also directed the officials to submit a plan to improve the management of the observation homes, especially regarding issues of security, infrastructure, and other facilities being extended to the residents of these homes.
