Since the expiration of the chairperson’s term, media reports have highlighted the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the DCPCR. A Times of India article dated November 30, 2023, outlines the DCPCR’s inability to address outstanding debts amounting to Rs. 3 crores at that time, including office rent. The report also mentions that, due to a shortage of staff, the chatbot Bal Mitra, launched by the DCPCR on February 1, 2023, is no longer functional despite earlier claims of its effectiveness. Additionally, the DCPCR board is facing a severe shortage of staff, leading to a backlog of cases.
