AGARTALA, July 29 (TIWN): Tripura former Chief Justice, present Supreme Court justice Dipak Gupta while addressing in a seminar on ‘Juvenile Justice System in Tripura’ at Rabindra Bhawan, said, a child care programme can not start without the base, which a child needs when it’s in its mother’s womb. “If a pregnant mother is not taken care properly and unhappy how the child to be healthy and well being after birth ? How many know that a pregnant lady has right to get 6000 under Govt scheme. The funds are stored here but never utilized. Apart from this, contractual labourers have been deprived of the wages and in India around Rs. 40,000 crores of fund left unutilized and in my time Tripura shared 700 crores, which is left under a committee but the beneficiaries could not get itâ€. “Now when it comes about distribution of the pending wages, there are labourers from 1996 and many of them might have been died. How to find out them ? So, the tall talks and institutions even for child care is not enough but the distribution should be done properly which is their rightâ€, Justice said.
However, Dipak Gupta further said that in Tripura in compare to other states is less spotted in Sex-selective abortion case. Hence the Child Care institutions are also in good shape, whereas India’s many other states are suffering from this trend.

However, the way people of Tripura have welcomed me this time, I am sure, I was not wrong”.
