Centre's rebuttal to Mamata govt

WOMEN and Child Development Minister Annapurna Devi on Monday criticised the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government for not taking any step to start the remaining 11 fast-track special courts despite the pendency of 48,600 rape and POCSO cases.

The minister, responding to Banarjee's August 22 letter to PM Narendra Modi, also pulled up the state for failing to implement key emergency helplines such as the Women Helpline (WHL), Emergency Response Support System (ERSS) and Child Helpline, and emphasised that these services are vital for providing immediate support to victims of violence but remain unimplemented despite repeated reminders from the Central government.
