The alleged sexual abuse of a 14-year-old girl from the Chang community in Dimapur, Nagaland, has drawn strong condemnation from Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma. He called for a swift investigation and strict legal action against the accused, emphasizing that crimes against children are intolerable. Following the arrest of the principal accused on May 29, after a Dimapur court denied his anticipatory bail plea, public outrage has surged across the Northeast. Sangma highlighted the importance of enforcing the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act to ensure child safety. The case has reignited discussions about child protection laws and the need for effective mechanisms to safeguard minors. Community leaders and child rights advocates are demanding transparency and accountability in the ongoing investigation, which authorities have pledged to prioritize. As the situation unfolds, the outcome of this case is expected to influence broader discussions on child rights and justice delivery in the region.
