Legal notice served for probing ‘violation’ of rights at 3 child development centres
A Supreme Court lawyer today sent a legal notice to the government, requesting it to form a high powered inquiry committee in three days to probe the "violation of fundamental rights of children" in the three child development centres of the country.
Lawyer Manoj Kumar Bhowmick, also a rights activist, served the legal notice to the social welfare secretary and director general of the department of social service following a report published by The Daily Star on September 29 under the headline "No better than a jail", which describes the violation of fundamental rights of children and their miserable condition at the child development centres.
The rights activist, in the legal notice, asked the respondents to form the high powered committee also to find out the unscrupulous officials of the centres responsible for violation of fundamental rights of the children and to take appropriate action against them.
Manoj Kumar Bhowmik told The Daily Star that he will move a writ petition before the High Court, seeking necessary directives if the respondents donot act in line with the requirements of the legal notice.
