The very organisations established to ensure justice to children in the state have now been accused of denying kids their rights. Anudanit Shiksha Bachao Samiti (ASBS), an NGO fighting for the rights of children, has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court against various bodies including the Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (MSCPCR), Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the state education department and more than 10 schools.

Over 200 children from the city are still awaiting admission. File pic for representation
