Young hearts and their worries are on Thane Municipal Corporation's mind, and hence, it is set to start a special helpline linked to hospitals, police stations and NGOs, on which children can call with their problems and officials will lend an ear, a shoulder and solution according to the issue. Civic officials said children are often scared to voice their grievances and stress about family disputes and pressure, sexual harassment or other such problems. So, this helpline and its officials will listen to the kids and counsel and help them.
