KOLLAM: The Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has registered a suo motu case towards Kollam district collector Afsana Parveen and the chief electoral officer (CEO) within the incident wherein college students of a college had been requested to carry their mother and father’ Aadhaar and voter ID playing cards for the aim of linking.
The fee took the motion primarily based on the report printed by TNIE on January 12 on how the controversial round issued by Sree Narayana Public School at Vadakkevila in Kollam had kicked up a row. Commission member Reni Antony instructed TNIE that the panel will even search studies from the CEO, collector and principal of the varsity.

“Even if the school organised awareness campaigns on linking the Aadhaar with the voter ID, students have nothing to do with such initiatives. As of now, the matter seems to be in violation of the Juvenile Justice Act. It also violates the privacy of the children and their parents and relatives. Strict action will be taken against the officials concerned,” Reni stated.
CEO Sanjay Kaul instructed TNIE that the varsity issued the round primarily based on the path of a booth-level officer (BLO).“I received the collector’s report. It said the BLO directed schools to issue such an order. It was done without the collector’s knowledge. She has assured me that the BLO will be removed and strict action will be taken against officials engaging in such activities,” he stated. Principal of the varsity Hemalatha V refused to talk on the matter. Parveen couldn’t be reached for feedback.
