The Union Home Ministry has requested the Chief Ministers of all States including Telangana to personally drive the progress on effectively dealing with cases registered under the POCSO (Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences) Act.

The direction follows a report on the status of compliance with the mandatory two-month timeline for investigation of sexual offences, presented at the recent meeting of the Southern Zonal Council (SZC) at Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu. The report noted that national compliance reached approximately 76% this year though performance in the southern States/UTs averaged 67%.
