 SHILLONG: The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has rued the fact that civil societies working in the area of children welfare in the State lack coordination.

Addressing a press conference here on Saturday following their meeting with different civil societies, NCPCR member Yogesh Dubey said, “Civil Societies here lacks coordination.”

The statement from the NCPCR member assumes significance in view of the fact that very few civil societies from the State participated in the meeting which was convened to discuss issues pertaining to child rights in the State.

Dubey said that the civil societies here are not aware about the works of other civil societies, while adding they should work in synergy with each other.

“They are not sharing the data with each other. There is a need for discussion amongst them,” he added.

On the reports that the Garo Hills based terror outfit Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) is recruiting young children, the Commission said it would take suo moto cognizance of the reports.

NCPCR member Yogesh Dube, informed newsmen here on Saturday that the Commission would raise this issue with the State Government at the earliest.

It is believed that over one hundred children are currently engaged in different camps of the GNLA across Garo Hills.

CSWO demands DNA tests for child sex workers

The Civil Society Women’s Organisation (CSWO) has urged the Child Rights Commission to conduct DNA tests through the Forensic Science Laboratory unit in Hyderabad for all the children at Silchar brothel.

In a memorandum submitted to NCPCR member Vinod Kumar Tikoo, the CSWO said DNA tests should be done so that these child sex workers might not be exploited at a later stage.

In another complain, the CSWO has sought the NCPCR’s intervention in the alleged rape of a fourteen-year-old girl by one Small Phawa in Jowai last November.
