NEW DELHI: The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) on Friday raised alarm bells against the functioning of six shelter homes in Assam and Manipur saying nearly 300 of about 1,000 children mentioned in documents were not found during the inspections.
Among several other serious charges, the commission said in its report to the Centre and the state governments that at least one child care institution run by Markaz Darul Yatama is accepting money from IHH, an international NGO which is suspected to have links with the al-Qaeda.
The shelter homes at Dhubri, Goalpara, Hojai and Nagaon in Assam and Thoubal in Manipur are run by All India United Democratic Fund (AIUDF) MP from Dhubri Badruddin Ajmal. Ajmal could not be available for comments despite multiple attempts to reach him.
