A first, child-friendly police station in Punjab has been launched in Fatehgarh Sahib.

The police station had been set up in coordination with the Bachpan Bachao Andolan.

The objective behind setting up such a police station was to ensure that every child, hether involved in a crime or a witness to it, has proper and timely access to justice.

Bachpan Bachao Andolan is an India-based movement campaigning for the rights of children.

It was started in 1980 by Nobel Laureate Mr. Kailash Satyarthi.

Its focus has centred on ending bonded labour, child labour and human trafficking, as well as demanding the right to education for all children.
