show no gender or age biases and are often life threatening. Such shameful crimes leave

incurable scars over the soul and body of the little innocent ones forever. They are threatened,

molested and traumatized. Many lose their lives. The ones that survive remain vulnerable and

stare at a bleak future. Awareness generation stressing on punishments depending on the

gravity of the crime may be one practical solution to reduce the number of such crimes. With

this objective, District Legal Services Authority Kannur arranged a series of awareness classes on

POCSO Act throughout the District.

WASTE MANAGEMENT: On 12-6-2018 Secretary, DLSA took a direct action to resolve the long

standing waste management issue in Ernakulam Public Market.

NOT ALONE…. An initiative of District Legal services Authority, Thiruvananthapuram to reunite

inmates of Shelter homes, cured patients of Mental health Centre, Old Age Home with their relatives. Love is truth…… but truth is often very hard…. Many inmates of shelter homes have

their own children or close relatives living a decent life in their own homes, when their aged parents or close relatives living the last phase of their life in Govt. supported shelter homes. The

Legal Aid Clinic functioning in the Mental Health Centre, Thiruvananthapuram and Old Age Home for Men at Poojappura made a real assessment of ground reality. Many inmates of Mental Health Centre, Peroorkkada even after recovery of sound mental health, pull on their live

behind the iron bars of the shelter homes longing that one day their relatives would come and take them home. But their longing was endless until DLSA, TVPM intervened in the matter. On

23rd June 2018, DLSA conducted a Special Adalat for ensuring the rehabilitation of the cured patients of the Mental Health centre. The effort found good result and 19 inmates could be send to their own homes with their close relatives. There were hectic efforts for realizing the objective.

The relatives were contacted regularly and free counseling were offered to them. Notices were served through SHOs concerned to ensure their presence on the Adalat day. On the day of Adalat 38 cases were taken up and 18 were settled by which 18 inmates could be sent to their

home.

OBSERVANCE OF WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL DAY : On 5th June , 2018 All District Legal Services

Authorities organized observance of world environmental day and propagation of green protocol at legal services institutions.

WORLD DAY AGAINST CHILD LABOUR: On 12th June all District Legal Services Authorities organized

essay writing competition in connection with world day against child labour for school and

college students.

GENERATION SAFE AND HEALTHY:

Child labour perpetuates illiteracy and poverty. It is the root cause of organised crimes such as human trafficking and terror. Children being the future are to be given opportunities and

facilities to develop in a healthy manner. Child labour is on the decline. But with migrant children running State’s illegal labour force, eradication of child labour still remains a far-fetched dream. It is a shame how childhood is stolen from such children moulding them as bread

earners for themselves and their family. As Indian Constitution, with its paediatric conscience, has special provisions for proper development of children, the one group of professionals who

could effectively weed out child labour could be lawyers. DLSA Kannur and labour Department conducted a one day workshop against child labour on 12.06.2018 at School of Legal Studies, Palayad for the future lawyers..

NO ACCESS TO FUNCTIONAL TOILETS-NEERCHAL COLONY REEKING WITH FILTH: Hundreds of families living in

the densely populated residential areas of Neerchal Colony had been defecating openly until

recently as they had no access to functional toilets. The area is so closely packed with houses that there isn't space for spitting, leave alone building individual toilets, said a native. A news

showcasing the plight of Colony people on Asianet news channel paved way to reconstruction of common toilet for women. Since it was opened a month ago, ladies have switched from relieving themselves on papers and open defecation after the fall of darkness. A team from DLSA Kannur

lead by Secretary, DLSA Kannur, visited the Colony to find the area quite filthy. The twelve recently constructed Women's toilets do not even have electric connection and even worse, the toilets have no taps. No water supply in toilets has resulted in irregular and inadequate cleaning.

The men's toilet still lay idle which prove good compartment space for dogs to rest. Accumulated rubbish, quite unsightly, attracting rats and rodents and motivating further fly-tipping could be

seen on the rear side and around these toilets. A poorly maintained water tank providing an excellent habitat for mosquito breeding was also seen near these toilets. “It is our fault, it could

be cleaner”, said the native. “It is our people who don't keep the surroundings clean.” A cleanliness drive will soon be organized by DLSA Kannur in the Colony and the Departments concerned will be contacted to speed up the reconstruction of the men's toilet.
