No theory but practice ; not once but contiguously; not as a duty but as a dedication to eradicate a social evil like child marriage from society Arindam Niyogi, the Sub-divisional Magistrate of Arambagh has been taking one after another exemplary initiative to stop marriage of young girls before attaining their marriageable age, i,e 18 years prior to the time they are not both legally and medically considered to be sound enough to carry on their post wedding responsibilities.
Today with his direction Deputy Magistrate Santiram Gorai and BDO of Arambagh Community Development Block Mrinal Kanti Guin went to Salepur village and prevented Pradip Pandit to give marry to their minor daughter to a primary school teacher of Haripal under Chandannagore Sub-division. Instead of power play, a good counselling makes the parents of that young girl convinced that their daughter needs nourishment and education now. And the sub-divisional administration will happily extend financial assistance to clear her forthcoming Higher Secondary examination.
On the eve of India's 66 Independence Day, it not mere words but a practical execution of law in a humanitarian way stops a social nuisance which may inspire other to follow this golden path of ensuring women rights in broader sense.
