Satyavathi Rathod thanked KTR and said that it was possible only because of the able leadership of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. She further added that the safety of children has been the top priority.

Satyavathi Rathod flagged off 33 Bal Rakshak vehicles on the occasion of Children's Day on Sunday.

Women's Development and Child Welfare Department (WDCW) Commissioner Divya Devarajan said that justice delayed is justice denied. She stated that these vehicles will be helpful for the children who are in need of protection in time and to protect the rights of children. Social Councilors and Psychological counselors are available through the vehicles. This is the first of its kind initiative in the country.

A helpline number 1098 has been launched and can be used to inform officials about the children who are in need.
