Indore Forms Teams to Stop Child Marriages
In Indore, the government is making special teams to stop child marriages.
These teams will quickly check reports and take action if they find any child marriages happening.
People can call a special phone number to tell the teams if they see a child marriage.
The teams have different people who will work together to make sure no child marriages happen in the district.
This is especially important during a festival called Basant Panchami when many weddings take place.
Indore district administration has formed two teams to prevent child marriages.
Teams will respond to complaints, verify information, and initiate legal proceedings.
A control room has been established for citizens to report suspected child marriages.
The teams include social workers, constables, and child protection officers.
Efforts are intensified ahead of Basant Panchami to prevent large-scale community weddings.
