Talking cognisance of the protests and rallies over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the Maharashtra Commission for Protection of Child Rights (MCPCR) has issued an order to ensure the safety of children to schools, the director of education and the police. However, schools are confused as there are no specific guidelines and they don't know what they are supposed to do to ensure the safety of children.

The order, issued on Friday by the Commission states, "Against the backdrop of opposition toward the CAA with protests, rallies and violent episodes; the atmosphere of the country is not very peaceful. In such situation, it is important to remain cautious regarding safety and security of the school children. Considering this required steps need to be taken by all concerned organisations." The letter is addressed to the Commissioner of Education, the Director of Education, collectors and the police. The order does not have specific guidelines.
