Human rights activist P. Geetha has called for a sustained people’s movement until the government orders a Special Investigation Team (SIT) inquiry into the mysterious deaths of children in Palakkad district.
Inaugurating a conference organised by the Committee Against Child Abuse to press for an SIT inquiry, Dr. Geetha said that only an independent investigation could ensure justice in the cases.
