As many as 11 children have fled from the Ruchika open shelter here through a bathroom skylight of the shelter home after breaking it on May 1.
Though a total of 12 kids had run away from the shelter home during night, one of them was caught from the Bhubaneswar railway station. Others are yet to be traced.
A complaint in this regard was lodged at the lingaraj police station by the shelter home authorities on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Khordha district Collector has started a probe into the incident.
Besides, the district Child Welfare Committee (CWC) on Thursday asked for a report from the shelter home in this regard within two days. Action would be taken after submission of the report, the CWC said.
