The UT Administration has reconstituted Child Welfare Committee. A spokesperson of the UT Administration said that the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) for Chandigarh was reconstituted since the extended term of the previous committee had ended. Neil Roberts has been appointed as chairperson of CWC and members are Yudhvir Singh Rana, Usha Gupta, Prabhjit Singh and Anita Singh. As per the provisions of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2000 (amended in 2006), States/UTs are required to establish a CWC. Each CWC should consist of a chairperson and four members. The CWC has the same powers as a metropolitan magistrate or a judicial magistrate of the first class. The term of the CWC will be for a period of three years starting from the date of notification, said the spokesperson.
