Disturbing: SC on 2 lakh kids missing from shelter homes
The Supreme Court stated it is very disturbing that about 2 lakh children were missing from shelter homes across India. The data was based on a survey conducted by the Centre in 2016-17 covering 9,000 child care institutions. When the Centre's advocate suggested figures could be wrong, SC added, "If it's an inflated figure then the money involved is mind-boggling."
