Noida Police will be launching a citizen volunteer programme to help children from families impacted by Covid-19.
Several citizens had sought help from police helplines to help out kids who have either lost their parents to the virus or both are infected by it.
The programme will be a coordination between police, childline officials and good samaritans.
“We had been receiving queries about helping children who were impacted by the pandemic. It was decided to seek help from the public on a voluntary basis and form a collective which would help children in several ways. From providing temporary accommodation to food supplies, several modalities will be figured out to ensure that children do not suffer if their families are infected. We have only begun the process and are awaiting response,” Vrinda Shukla, DCP Crimes Against Women, Gautam Buddh Nagar, told a media house.
According to police, the citizens signing up for the project will work with childline volunteers to assist the children as per the government’s regulations.
As per media reports, the programme will include providing transportation to children, meals, counselling and any other assistance needed on a daily basis in the absence of parental supervision. In the event of their parents’ death, adoption procedures will be followed.
