Supreme Court Advocates Online Portal for Missing Children
The Supreme Court wants the government to make a special website to help find kids who have gone missing.
This online portal will be managed by the government and help police and other authorities work together better.
The court is worried because police in different areas don't always share information well, making it hard to find these kids.
The court also wants each state to have someone in charge to help with missing children cases.
The government is working to set this up so that they can better find the missing kids.
Supreme Court directs the creation of a dedicated online portal.
The portal will be under the home ministry.
The goal is to trace missing children and investigate cases.
The court highlighted the lack of coordination among authorities.
NGO Guria Swayam Sevi Sansthan highlighted unresolved cases.
