Malkangiri: The Childline rescued a minor girl a day before her marriage from MV-52 village under Korukonda block in Odisha’s Malkangiri district on Saturday.
Sources said the Childline officials rushed to the village following a tip-off and rescued the girl from her house and later produced her before the district Child Welfare Committee (CWC).
“The girl’s marriage was to be held at MV-2 village of the district on Monday. Conducting child marriage is an offence. There is an urgent need to raise awareness among the people, particularly those living in rural pockets, about the ill effects of child marriage,” a Childline official said.
