The District Child Welfare Committee (CWC) has decided to shift a hearing and speech impaired youth to a welfare centre for persons with hearing and speech impairment as even after a month of being rescued from a mercy home, there is no information about his parents.
Amrit is an adult and is staying at a child care institute in Karnal.
Gurdev Singh, officiating chairperson, CWC, said, “Amrit is currently in Karnal and there is one such centre for persons with hearing and speech impairment there, so we will ask the Karnal CWC to shift him to the centre. If required, the CWC will talk to the welfare society and make arrangements at some other centre.”
The mercy home was raided on November 21 and 25 children were rescued. Another girl was rescued earlier this month. Of the 26 rescued children, 22 have been reunited with their families.
Mohit Aggarwal, member, CWC, said, “The remaining children will be reunited with their families soon. Efforts are being made to trace them.”
As per information, Amrit was first sent to the mercy home in 2015 to provide him temporary shelter by the CWC.
“The Haryana Welfare Society for Persons with Speech and Hearing Impairment has been running centres at Panchkula, Gurugram, Hisar, Sirsa, Karnal, Sonepat, Nagina, and Raipur Rani to provide education and vocational training to children with hearing impairment and facilitate their all-round development. Amrit will be able to learn sign language at the centre,” said Aggarwal.
