Recently a bizarre incident took place in Madhya Pradesh where hospitalised MP Children were made to sit in scorching heat to ‘Add Crowd to Function’ Attended by DM. This lead the apex child rights body NCPCR to seek strict action against those who allegedly made children admitted to a hospital ward in Madhya Pradesh sit in scorching heat for crowd mobilisation at a function.
In a letter issued by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) to the Madhya Pradesh chief secretary on Saturday, it opened up about the case which said during the inauguration of an oxygen plant at the district hospital in Vidisha, the relatives of hospitalised patients and children admitted in the child ward were forcibly taken to the venue by the guards and nurses.
The NCPCR also pointed out that this happened under the presence of the district collector 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 and take appropriate action against the guilty officers and send a detailed action-taken report to it within seven days.
