Fact Check: No decision taken to transfer Children Helpline to MHA
New
Delhi,
Sep
16:
The
Children
Helpline
number
being
run
by
the
Government
of
India
is
1098.
Now
a
claim
has
gone
viral
stating
that
the
Children
Helpline
will
be
transferred
to
the
Ministry
of
Home
Affairs.
It
is
being
claimed
that
the
Centre
is
hanging
up
on
1098
and
children
will
now
have
to
dial
112.
The Ministry has decided to integrate the Child Helpline (1098) with Emergency Response Support System with telephonic short code 112 and 1122 India App. This means that the Children Helpline will be transferred from the Ministry of Women and Child Development to the Ministry of Home Affairs, it was claimed.
However OneIndia has learnt that this information is false. We searched for news relating to this and found nothing that suggests that the helpline is being transferred.
The PIB Fact Check also took to Twitter and said that there are some media reports claiming that Children Helpline 1098 is being transferred to the Ministry of Home Affairs and would be operated under the ERRS Helpline number 1123. This claim is fake and the @MinistryWCD would continue to operate the Helpline, it was said.
