Six months after the first incident of child rape in a high end school came to light, there has not been much change in ground reality, with more cases coming out everyday at an alarming rate. Out of 289 cases registered under Protection of Children Against Sexual Offenses Act (POCSO) in Bangalore in the last two years, there have been only eight trials, while the law states that POCSO cases should be wrapped up in a year. What has been done(read announced) in Bangalore in 6 months.... 1. An expert Committee has been set up with 26 eminent people on 1st August. This panel is yet to submit its report. And God knows when the Govt will act on it. It clearly shows, how much of a priority is this issue to the Govt. 2. An announcement has been made by police abt making sexual offenders list available at all police stations. 3. An announcement is made about installing CCTVs at important junctions in the city.( decision after the terror blast incident recently) 4. A draft Child Protection Policy has been designed, but cabinet held it up. This draft mandates PTAs in schools. Why hasn't it been approved? Dear friends, this shows, we need to continue our fight with more vigor and intensity. Let's make the Government feel accountable. Get us to 1 lakh signagtures. Thanks and regards, Maithreyi.
