According to the rules, now it has become important for the home to make necessary arrangements for adoption of children," Rajnish Jasra, Deputy Director of the state\'s Social Security and Women & Child Development department, told PTI. "Firstly, FIRs will have to be registered for all the children staying there. Adoption of children aged between 0-6 years will be possible after that. This procedure for adoption is mandatory," Jasra said, adding that the district administration has been informed in this connection. The state government has also ordered all deputy commissioners to keep a close watch on any shelter home operating without valid registration in their districts. PTI CORR SAI
