Children admitted to hospital made to sit in scorching heat in Madhya Pradesh; NCPCR seeks action

The NCPCR pointed out that the district collector was also present at the function.

“The admitted children were made to sit in the hot sun for two hours at the venue, which primarily appears to be a violation of section 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015,” it said.

Taking cognizance of the incident, the commission requested the chief secretary to get the matter investigated under section 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act, take appropriate action against the guilty officers and send a detailed action-taken report to it within seven days.
