  "account": "At its recent district sitting held at the Thiruvananthapuram PWD Rest House, the State Commission for Protection of Child Rights directed that the BUDS school in Karode panchayat, Thiruvananthapuram, be reopened and operated immediately. The school had been inaugurated two and a half years ago but lacked basic amenities such as electricity.\n\nThe commission emphasized that providing an electricity connection is crucial for making the school functional. Additionally, if there is a shortage of children at the school, students from neighboring panchayats may be accommodated there. These directives came after the commission heard 47 complaints during the sitting, with 29 of them being disposed of promptly.\n\nEighteen complaints were deferred for further action and detailed orders, discussed by the commission members F. Wilson and K.K. Shaju, who led the meeting. Moreover, the commission ordered the eviction of encroachers from the land belonging to the Kunnathukal Government UP School in Parassala sub-district.",
