NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday said that it will periodically summon chief secretaries and DGPs of those states from where a large number of children go missing regularly.
As a first step, it summoned the chief secretaries and DGPs of Bihar and Chattisgarh and asked them to be present in court on October 30.
The SC passed this order on a petition filed by Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyathi’s NGO Bachapan Bachao Andolan.
The apex court told the Centre and states that "this tamasha" of filing mechanical replies and doing nothing on the ground must stop.
The top court said it will ask the chief secretaries and DGPs what would be their reaction if their children go missing.
