38 of the total 43 children sheltered by the institution were shifted from an orphanage in Ambattur to another registered home, and five of them returned to their families on Monday. The move came following a direction from the child welfare committee in Tiruvallur in reaction to an investigation on unregistered homes last week. The director of social defense has asked all district child protection officers to search the premises of homes that have been closed, even temporarily, and to present the children before the respective child welfare committees. Notably, around 350 homes, housing about 21,000 children, have been shut down so far.
