18 rescued kids returned to parents in Gajapati
Eighteen children from Gajapati district who were rescued by the State Government from Tamil Nadu, were on Saturday handed over to their parents.
But there have been allegations that many more children from Gajapati and other parts of south Odisha are still in Kerala and Tamil Nadu living with an uncertain future.
The children are said to be in distress. The team, which had gone to Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu to bring back the 18 children originally rescued by the TN police from inside a church, handed over the children to their parents who are natives of Gumma block in the district
It may be noted that 20 days back, some organisations had taken the children from different places of the block by giving assurance to their parents to provide good education with other amenities. But, the children were in distress in the church campus. When the local District Welfare Officer got information about the children, they conducted a raid with the help of police and the Child Welfare Committee.
After the children arrived at the Brahmpur railway station, the district administration received them and took them to the Swadhara home at Patikota village under Gosani block in the district on Friday. On Saturday, they were handed over to their parents.
