Childline to be transferred to states to ensure quick help to kids in distress: Union minister Smriti Irani
Union minister Smriti Irani on Sunday said the Childline will be handed over to states so that the distress call gets connected to local police stations and the issue is resolved quickly. Childline 1098 is a 24-hour-a-day emergency phone service for children in need of aid and assistance. The nearly 26-year-old Childline is partnered with civil society and the government.
