Upon receiving the information, the DLSA Secretary promptly formed a task force and directed the child’s immediate rescue.

DLSA Secretary Roshan Kumar confirmed that both blind children will be sent to the Giridih Blind Child Development School for specialized education and care. Additionally, the necessary paperwork is being processed to provide scholarships for the other two orphaned children.
Efforts have also begun to enroll all four children in school. As an immediate relief measure, the Sub-Judge personally provided them with clothing and toys at the rescue site.
