Strict action to curb child marriage, child labour and POCSO offences: Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner

Strict action to curb child marriage, child labour and POCSO offences: Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner Ikram Shariff on Friday (August 7) directed the district administration, police and the Department of Women and Child Development to take stringent and coordinated measures to completely curb child marriage, child labour, child begging and offences under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act in the district. Chairing meetings of the District Child Protection Committee, District Child Welfare Committee, Chief Minister’s Bal Seva Scheme Monitoring Committee and PM CARES for Children Scheme Monitoring Committee at his office, Mr. Shariff instructed officials to conduct mandatory monthly inspections of all government-run and NGO-managed childcare institutions to assess sanitation, safety and infrastructure, and submit detailed reports. Superintendent of Police Adduru Srinivasulu informed the meeting that charge-sheets in POCSO cases were being filed within the prescribed 60-day period. Manjula Patil said 71 child marriage cases, 22 child labour cases, 16 POCSO cases and 14 child begging cases had been reported in the district during the review period. “A total of 198 children had been safely handed over to their parents or guardians. Of the 293 calls received through the Child Helpline, 285 complaints had been successfully resolved. Authorities had prevented the child marriages of 80 girls and one boy, while 22 child labourers and 13 children engaged in begging had been rescued and rehabilitated through special enforcement drives,” she said. The Deputy Commissioner directed hospitals to compulsorily register medico-legal cases whenever pregnancies involving minors are detected.

Despite efforts, Indian seafarers missing after Black Sea drone attack couldn't be traced: Government

Despite efforts, Indian seafarers missing after Black Sea drone attack couldn't be traced: Government The government on Friday (August 7, 2026) told the Supreme Court that two Indian seafarers, who went missing after their cargo vessel was attacked in the Black Sea near Ukraine, could not be located despite exhaustive search and rescue operations. A Bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana was informed by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta that the search and rescue operations were undertaken by Ukrainian authorities, the Romanian Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC), the Romanian Coast Guard and other associated rescue services. The Bench took note of the Action Taken Report filed by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and said that according to information received up to August 5, Deepak Kumar Gupta and Rama Chandra could not be located despite these extensive search operations. "It is stated that search operations presently remain suspended pending receipt of fresh information while DGMA continues to pursue all pending investigations and SAR [search and rescue operations] reports and remains engaged with all concerned stakeholders", the Bench recorded in the order. The Bench asked the Centre to facilitate insurance claims for the families of the missing seafarers. The top court was hearing a plea by Deepak Kumar Gupta's elder brother, Sandeep Kumar Gupta, seeking directions to the MEA to coordinate with Indian embassies in Ukraine and Romania to undertake search and rescue operations. The petitioner said the plea was filed after his family's persistent requests to the government of India and Indian embassies in the two countries went unheard.
