BANDIPORA: In a significant step towards strengthening child protection services, District Child Protection Officer (DCPO) Bandipora, Bashir Ahmad Malik chaired a detailed review meeting and inspection of Child Care Institutions (CCIs) for both boys and girls Bandipora.  The meeting cum inspection was aimed at evaluating the functioning of these institutions and ensuring that standards of care and protection are being properly maintained.

During the review, the DCPO conducted a thorough examination of case files of each child residing in the institutions. The scrutiny focused on admission details, individual care plans, and overall rehabilitation progress.  The meeting also deliberated on the overall management and functioning of the institutions, with emphasis on accountability and improved service delivery.
