opinion-when-communities-become-the-first-line-of-defence-for-missing-children
A few years back, in the narrow lanes of North West Delhis resettlement colonies, children going missing was very common and was treated almost as an unfortunate fact of life. Families struggling to survive on daily wages often had little time, support, or institutional access to respond when a child suddenly went missing. In neighbourhoods shaped by continuous migration, overcrowding, economic distress, and social vulnerability, children frequently slipped through the cracks pushed into labour, lured by traffickers, or simply fleeing violence and instability at home. But today, in several of these mohallas of Jahangirpuri, Azadpur Mandi, and Shahbad Dairy, children themselves have become part of an informal vigilance network working to prevent such disappearances. If a child remains absent from school for several days, word spreads quickly through local childrens groups, womens collectives, and community volunteers. Concerns are escalated to the appropriate quarters. And the result? The concerted efforts of CRY Child Rights and You and its partner organisation Saksham created an integrated child surveillance system with the help of children, their family members, and the community an intervention that successfully traced 97 out of 102 missing children and brought them back safely to their families between January 2025 and April 2026. If one of our schoolmates doesnt show up to school for several days, we immediately visit their home, understand the reason, and inform community members and local groups, says a 15-year-old girl associated with one such childrens collective. This is not a formal surveillance mechanism run by local authorities. Children, parents, womens collectives, schools, local organisations, and community volunteers have together built an informal but highly responsive safety net organically embedded within the community to prevent children from disappearing into the shadows of trafficking, exploitation, abuse, or neglect. At a time when India continues to witness a worrying rise in cases related to missing children, this community-driven model emerging from some of Delhis most vulnerable settlements offers an important lesson: Child protection cannot succeed through policing alone. It must be rooted within communities themselves. The scale of the crisis The latest National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) Crime in India 2024 report paints a deeply worrying picture. The number of missing children rose from 1,38,609 in 2023 to 1,47,175 in 2024 an increase of 6.2 per cent. Girls constituted nearly 76 per cent of all missing children, exposing the stark gendered nature of vulnerability. Delhi is no exception. According to the state-wise figures from the NCRB report, West Bengal recorded the highest share of missing children, followed by Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Bihar, and Delhi. Thousands of children also remain untraced long after complaints are filed. Yet these numbers alone fail to capture the lived realities behind such incidents. Children rarely go missing in a vacuum. Poverty, migration, school dropouts, domestic violence, emotional distress, trafficking networks, unsafe labour conditions and fragile family environments often intersect to create pathways of vulnerability. In urban settlements across Delhi NCR particularly among migrant and economically marginalised communities these risks become even sharper. Families struggling for survival often work long hours in informal jobs, leaving children with little supervision or support. Adolescents, especially girls, become vulnerable to trafficking, coercion, online manipulation, or unsafe relationships. Rebuilding protection from within the community Places like Jahangirpuri, Shahbad Dairy, and areas surrounding Azadpur Mandi have long grappled with the consequences of rapid urbanisation, migration, overcrowding, and economic distress. On-ground interactions with families, police, and Saksham officials reveal that economic insecurity pushed children towards child labour, migration, and exploitation. Parvesh Sehgal, a member of the local Child Vigilance Group, shared, School dropouts, disrupted education, family-based violence layered with unsupervised social media exposure, and unresolved adolescent emotional insecurities often push children to elope or become easy targets for traffickers. He further added, Between January 2025 and April 2026, though many of the children were traced, five children remain untraced, including one boy and four girls. What has changed in parts of North-West Delhi is not merely the efficiency of rescue operations, but the social response surrounding them. The intervention recognised that tracing children is only one part of the challenge. Equally critical are rehabilitation, psychosocial support, reducing the risk of re-trafficking, restoring education, and rebuilding trust within families and communities. The intervention, with the support of local schools, the police, the District Child Protection Unit (DCPU), and the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), worked together to facilitate quick reporting, family counselling, and a coordinated response system. In addition to that, the team carried out door-to-door monitoring and awareness sessions on online safety, emotional well-being, and trafficking. Importantly, children themselves became active participants in the protection ecosystem. Local childrens groups now identify school dropouts, report suspicious activities, support younger children, and alert community members when someone suddenly disappears from school or the neighbourhood. The shift is profound: Children are no longer being treated merely as beneficiaries of protection systems. They are becoming stakeholders in safeguarding their own communities. Schools played a pivotal role not only through re-enrolment and monitoring of children, but also through empathetic support to continue education and enhance agency, creating a conducive environment for children to come out of trauma. One school teacher described the systemic approach succinctly: Special attention is now being given to children with prolonged absenteeism. This has resulted in noticeable improvement in childrens school attendance and regular participation in education. It is evident that prevention and rescue-rehabilitation mechanisms did not rely solely on institutional intervention but also on informed, participatory, community-driven efforts deeply rooted in collective trust and accountability. The way forward To sustain the effort, CRY and Saksham are working with the Vigilance Group and Bal Prahari Group, particularly in vulnerable communities, while strengthening collaboration between civil society, communities, and government departments. They are also conducting awareness drives with parents and organising counselling sessions on child protection, cyber safety, and mental health support for children. But just community initiatives are not all. The fight against missing children also demands active involvement of decentralised governance and community-based institutional systems. Police ward committees, Panchayats, Mohalla Committees, School Management Committees, and local child protection bodies must come forward to play a transformative role in identifying early signs of vulnerability, monitoring school dropouts, strengthening community vigilance, and ensuring faster reporting and response. In both rural and urban poor settlements, these institutions are often the first point of contact for distressed families. If properly sensitised and integrated into child protection frameworks, they can function not merely as administrative structures, but as grassroots safety networks capable of addressing safety of children. It is important that these orchestrated efforts translate into measurable impact rather than remain a series of isolated activities. As such interventions are replicated across other geographies, no more children especially girls should have to sink into vulnerability and trauma. Together, we must act beyond numbers, reports, word-crafts, spreadsheets, and fancy presentations ensuring a safe and happy childhood at the grassroots level for every child will be the real measure of our success as a society and as a nation. Puja Marwaha is CEO, CRY Child Rights and You.
fall-of-rjd-and-congress-in-bihar-what-remains-of-the-opposition-now
The principal opposition party in Bihar, Rashtriya Janata Dal, went from 81 legislators in 2021 in the Assembly to just 25 in the 2025 Assembly elections, a decline of more than 65 per cent in its strength. The Indian National Congress too suffered a similar slide, shrinking from 19 MLAs to six. The reduced numbers have not only weakened their political standing but also deepened resentment within their ranks. According to political observers, both camps are struggling more with their internal issues than with effectively occupying the opposition space. This has created a vacuum within Bihars Opposition politics. Key leaders at the helm in both the RJD and Congress reportedly do not hold a high opinion of each other, further suggesting a freeze in ties. That makes a collective push against the ruling alliance difficult, especially after the NDAs massive mandate of 202 seats in the 243-member assembly. We have been part of the RJD-led coalition for the past few decades and we dont have a good experience with them, politically as well as electorally. We have lost elections with them and lost our space too. There seemingly has been an informal decoupling, a former Congress MLA said. However, neither side has officially indicated any break in the alliance. With the RJD weakened, some Congress leaders believe this was the right moment for the grand old party to attempt a revival and tap into the emerging vacuum. But the Congress leadership in the state has shown little sign of organisational rebuilding or political aggression that could signal a recovery. Even the BJP-led government in the state sees the Opposition as an incapacitated group, which, according to leaders, has also contributed to the BJP keeping a relatively low profile on its communal politics. It was expected that after the BJP came back, there could be communal posturing, but till now there hasnt been anything like that, a Congress leader said. Earlier, they could not have done it because the BJP was under the leadership of Nitish Kumar and there were direct instructions against any communal activities. While the RJDs more than two decades out of power as the principal opposition party has infused hopelessness among sections of its cadre, the Congress faced a different crisis after the 2025 Assembly elections. A large section of party workers expressed dissatisfaction with the state leadership over ticket distribution, alleging that preference was given to new entrants while old-timers were sidelined. The Congress has also not taken any action against the three cross-voters in the Rajya Sabha elections, unlike in states such as Odisha and Haryana where cross-voting legislators were suspended. Leaders in the state believe disciplinary action is unlikely, as the three MLAs constitute nearly half of the partys current Assembly strength.
physics-answer-sheet-not-mine-cbse-under-fresh-trouble-after-student-allege-osm-copy-mismatch
The Central Board of Secondary Education is now facing new scrutiny after a class 12 student alleged that the physics answer sheet he was marked for did not belong to him. The board was already facing scrutiny over its new On-screen Marking System over portal crashes, payment glitches and blurred scans of answer sheets after the class 12 results were up this month. In a detained thread on X, the student claimed that the physics answer uploaded by CBSE under his roll number was not his. He even shared screenshots comparing his handwriting to the mismatched answer sheet. I am a CBSE Class 12 student. After receiving unexpectedly low marks in Physics, we applied for photocopies of my answer sheets through the CBSE reevaluation process. Today we received the copies. And I am shattered because the Physics answer sheet uploaded by CBSE is not mine, he said. He also said that he was sure that the paper did not have his handwriting and did not have the questions he had attempted. Not just me my family, teachers, and everyone who knows my writing immediately noticed the difference, he said. The post quickly gained attention. Many other students also responded with similar complaints. One student wrote, I applied for CBSE revaluation. The scanned copy of the chemistry sheet I received does not match my handwriting or written responses. For reference, I am attaching my English answer sheet, which clearly reflects my actual handwriting. Another student alleged that a student's chemistry answer sheet had two pages completely replaced. One student requested an investigation, saying, Applied for a photocopy of my CBSE Class 12 Chemistry answer sheet after unexpectedly low marks. Today, CBSE uploaded a paper that is clearly not mine. Different handwriting and answers. Requesting CBSE to urgently investigate and provide my actual answer sheet. The new complaints have added to the ongoing controversy regarding the marking and results. Several students had already alleged that they received lower marks than they expected. This had prompted the board to open a reevaluation and enable access to the answer sheets for students. Several student also alleged that they have still not received scanned copies of their answer sheets despite successfully making payments. The new issue came after CBSE acknowledged that it had a temporary technical glitch on its ports during reevaluation. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has directed teams of professors and technical experts to assist CBSE in ensuring a glitch-free re-evaluation process.
fuel-price-hike-ncpsp-slams-modi-governments-inflation-tax-says-acche-din-became-expensive-living
The Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) on Monday launched a fierce attack on the Narendra Modi-led central government over the continuous rise in petrol and diesel prices, accusing the BJP government of openly looting the common man while protecting corporate interests. Addressing the media, NCP(SP) spokesperson and party leader Mahesh Tapase said the Modi government has turned fuel prices into a tool to squeeze money from ordinary citizens already struggling with inflation, unemployment, and rising household expenses. Every now and then petrol and diesel prices rise, the burden falls on farmers, workers, small businessmen, transporters, and middle-class families. Vegetable prices go up, transport costs increase, school fees rise, and household budgets collapse. The BJP government is making people pay heavily just to survive, said Tapase. He alleged that whenever international crude oil prices fall, the Modi government refuses to reduce fuel prices and quietly pockets massive profits through excise duty and taxes. When crude oil prices were low globally, did the people get relief? No. The government collected lakhs of crores from the public but gave nothing back to citizens. Now the moment international prices rise slightly, the entire burden is immediately passed on to the people. This is not governance this is organised economic exploitation, Tapase said. Despite the global petroleum crisis, no PSU oil company is in loss as the entire burden is shifted on to the common man, he said. There is no transparency, no accountability only propaganda and public relations, he said. People were promised Acche Din, but what they got was expensive fuel, expensive LPG cylinders, expensive food, and expensive living. Under the Modi government, every citizen is paying a BJP inflation tax daily. The country does not need publicity campaigns and event management. The country needs relief from inflation, Tapase added.
A senior Tamil Nadu police officer is now the latest to face heavy backlash for allegedly being insensitive at a press conference about the rape and murder of a 10-year-old girl in Coimbatore. In a now-viral clip, Inspector General of Police (West Zone), R.V. Ramya Bharathi, was seen laughing and casually interacting with her colleagues while seated at the press conference venue. The laughing, which took place on Monday just before the presser began, quickly sparked anger online, with many users questioning how the senior officers could laugh just before a discussion on the heinous crime. The case in question was the rape and murder of a Class 4 student, whose dead body was found on May 23two days after she went missingnear Sulur in the Kannampalayam lake area in Coimbatore. Two people were arrested in connection with the tragedyone of the first major crimes on the TVK government's radar.The case has also triggered statewide protests and political attacks by the Opposition against the C. Joseph Vijay government. Notably, this comes just hours after Tamil Nadu Industries Minister S. Keerthana came under fire for similar reasons: she was caught smiling at around the time the murder was being discussed with the press. She clarified that she had smiled at the end of the interactionnot while it was going onand that what she had smiled about was neither connected to the crime nor the reporters questions. However, the clarification could not save her from widespread backlash online over what the BJP called extreme insensitivity. The saffron party was also irked at her refusal to answer questions from the media, as she said she would only answer administrative questions. WhileCM Vijay has assured swift action and a fast-track investigation into the case, senior police officials are yet to issue an official response regarding the viral video involving IG Bharathi.
