In a bid to check crime against children, the Uttar Pradesh government will set up 10 Special Juvenile Police units and six child-friendly police stations.
"UNICEF, Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Law University and a NGO will help the government for the purpose," Principal Secretary Home, Debashish Panda said.
A presentation in this regard was given by UNICEF here before Home department officials. "The government will consider deployment of specially trained policemen in these units. Soon all 75 districts will have such units," he said.
UNICEF will impart training to prosecution officers and district government counsel in the next two months in child and women security related laws and RML Law University will be part of it, he said.
