The installation was carried out under the supervision of Addl. SP and Nodal Officer of the Special Juvenile Police Unit, Lanu Aier, in accordance with Rule 86(11) of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Model Rules, 2016.

The rule mandates that "The names and contact details of the Special Juvenile Police Unit or Child Welfare Police Officer shall be placed at a conspicuous part at the police stations, Child Care Institutions, Committees, Boards and the Children's Courts."

This ensures the prominent display of contact information so that every child has unhindered access to assistance.
