Summary:
The shelter home is going to be closed at the behest of CWC,” shelter home in-charge Bhattacharya said. GURUGRAM: Asha Bhawan , a shelter home for destitute children in the city, will soon be shut down, following directions from Child Welfare Committee (CWC), for allegedly flouting regulations of the Juvenile Justice (JJ) Act. Neena Doss Bhattacharya, district in-charge of the shelter home, furnished the required documents before CWC on Tuesday. “At times, some NGOs like Asha Bhawan deliberately get themselves registered under a government scheme — in this case, as a shelter home under the JJ Act — to claim the legitimacy of being recognised by the government, which they use to bag various other government-funded projects. District programme officer for women and child development Sunaina Khatri, who had begun a fresh enquiry in this matter, confirmed that the process for the closure of the shelter home had been initiated.CWC chairperson Dhull said the shelter home didn’t adhere to the guidelines of the JJ Act..
