Rising to meet the challenge of children facing distress during Covid-19 pandemic, the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR’s) has launched a helpline number +91-9311551393 to address the needs of children in any distress during the pandemic.
Anurag Kundu, Chairperson, DCPCR said, “Children are the most vulnerable in these testing times as they remain dependent on others to provide for them. The helpline is receiving numerous cases wherein a child has lost all sources of support and is in need of immediate care. The Commission is committed to resolving all such cases in less than 24 hours.”
DCPCR intervenes within 24 hours on all the SOS calls on the Helpline.
These include medicines for the children, or essential supplies of food, shelter, clothing, etc, the DCPCR said in a statement.
