Sarla is visiting Motijhil village in Muzaffarpur district in Bihar where she meets Vikas Kumar who tells her that there is a school in their village which has 85 students. Hand pump for the school is throwing dirty water from more than 2 months. Children need to go half a kilometer at someone’s place who is abusive. They also get water for cooking mid-day meal from there. Officers are not listening after repeated requests. You are requested to call Collector@9431608737. Sarla@9308571702

Sarla Shrivas is talking to Child Rights Activist Abdul Kalam Rahim in Bihar who tells her that many mafia organisations are active in poor states like Bihar who smuggle children to big cities in the name of giving them jobs and education and sell them. These children are often so exploited mentally and physically that they are unable to work on return. He requests us in big cities to keep an eye on any exploited children and inform police if we see any. For more Rahim Ji can be reached@9608711839
