Of the nearly 50,000 people displaced due to ethnic clashes, there are 12,694 children living in relief camps across violence-hit Manipur and out of them, 100 are severely traumatised needing professional counselling, according to a government press release quoting the data made available by the state social welfare department. The social welfare department’s team of qualified medical practitioners and child psychiatrists working as volunteers are providing professional counselling to those who are severely traumatised, it stated. “Whenever they find such severely traumatised children, they will be identified, and taken to professional counsellors. We’ve done this for a little more than 100 children. We hope that this number does not increase and these traumatised children can go back to normal very soon,” said Ng Uttam Singh, director of the social welfare department. “A child may not be traumatised immediately. But that trauma can come up after one week or a month,” he said. Dig Deeper

Speaking at an event in Haryana, Kejriwal questioned the rationale behind the proposal of such move.

He will however be available for selection from the Super 4 stage onwards. The big development came a day after India faced arch-rivals Pakistan in a blockbuster match at the Pallekele International Stadium on Saturday where his replacement, Ishan Kishan, scored a thrilling knock of 82 off 81 before rain washed out the second innings resulting in the two teams sharing a point each. Rahul, who has been out of action since May this year when he incurred a hamstring injury and later underwent a surgery as well, suffered a fresh niggle just days before his selection as he was going through match simulations and practice games at the NCA to prove his fitness.
