"This striking visual display formed part of the worldwide 'Go Blue' campaign, symbolising solidarity with children and a commitment to upholding their rights. This initiative is organised under the aegis of the
Assam Police Sishu Mitra Programme, anchored by the Assam Police in partnership with UNICEF and UTSAH, one of the largest Child-friendly Policing Programmes in India," Rajib Saikia, CPRO of Assam police said.
Harmeet Singh, Director General of Police, Assam, highlighted the significance of this initiative within the State's flagship Assam Police Sishu Mitra Programme.

The colour blue represents a dedication to a world where every child is safe, healthy, educated, and loved.
The campaign aims to raise global awareness about children's rights and to inspire collective action to ensure every child's well-being.
World Children's Day is a globally recognised occasion to advocate for children's rights and wellbeing, reminding societies everywhere of the importance of nurturing and protecting the next generation.
