We need to strengthen our juvenile justice system: CJI

New Delhi: Stressing the need for strengthening the juvenile justice system, Chief Justice of India Altamas Kabir on Sunday said at the conference the country could face chaos if it did not provide adequate protection and care to children, especially those in conflict with law. He voiced concern that despite 42% of population comprising children, who could be a force for potential progress in future, not much had been achieved for them and many face the problem of drug addiction. "How many of us think about children as potential force for progress for future. More than one-third of population, large number of them children, do not have proper facilities despite best of our efforts and intention. "We have children with good education, they are from elite class but what about the rest," he said, adding that 10 to 15 years down the line when the new generation would take over there might be chaos if these children were not taken care of.
