The staffs of the Childline Mangalore centre, said that centre do not have vehicle and sufficient staff to attend calls. Hence, they disconnect the 1098 phone connection when they are on field duty to rescue children.

Commission also received the complaint that the government has not appointed any teacher for a school in Belthangady, which runs as the single teacher school, but still occupies the number one position among 14 other schools in the district.

Since the large number of students commits suicide, it was suggested that counseling centres must be opened for SSLC students.

Zilla Panchayat CEO Dr. K. N. Vijayaprakash, said that electricity will be supplied to all anganwadis under the Rajiv Gandhi Electricity Project including the fans.

Hilda Rayappan, Asha Nayak, the president of the Child Welfare Committee, was also present.
