Dr S Lakshmanan said this in a one day consultation held with the religious leaders on child protection in Sivasagar on Saturday.

He called on the religious leaders to generate mass awareness on the ill impact of child marriage and to prepare strategical approach on combatting such ill practices in society to ensure the welfare and protection of women and children.

He ensured of extending all possible cooperation in this regard.

The consultation was organized by the District Children and Adolescent Cell (DCAC) with the support of UNICEF, Assam at a hotel in Sivasagar.
