Supreme Court expresses concern over missing children

The Supreme Court today slammed the governments of four states -- Arunachal Pradesh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh -- over their failure to file status reports in cases of missing children.

The Supreme Court, which has summoned the chief secretaries of the states, said, "If a child of a high-profile family is missing, hundreds of policemen trace the child within three days. But if the child of a poor man goes missing, police don't even register a FIR (First Information Report)".

The court told the chief secretary of Chhattisgarh, "You are a small state but (you are) not bothered about missing children. We just want positive information like how many FIRs filed on missing children, how many NGOs are working on this."
