AP State Commission for Protection of Child Rights Member Krishna Kumar on Friday appealed to the officials to create awareness on the child rights, the Nirbhaya Act and the Disha bill during the one-day workshop on child rights in Nuzvid in the Krishna district.

The Integrated Child Development Services authorities have conducted the workshop. Mr. Krishna Kumar has reminded that the crime against women continues to rise despite the stringent legal support and Acts.
