The State Government has given orders to establish a special police unit for minors (SJPU) in the neighborhood. The unit, designed to protect children's rights and care, will be set up with the necessary staff, said district superintendent of police BV Ramana Kumar.

In accordance with Article 63 of the Young Offenders Act Justice, the government should establish SJPUs in all districts. The Police Department should appoint agents to child protection in all police stations to provide care and protection of children. Recently, Child Welfare Committee (CWC) district president I.

Chaya Ratan seeking to establish the Special Juvenile Police Unit in Nellore district.

Last month, the Supreme Court ordered the state governments to set up special police units for minors and take steps for effective implementation of the Law on Juvenile Justice, said President ACC Mr .
