DLSA reunites Mohali girl with parents

The District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Amritsar, has managed to reunite a girl, a resident of Mohali, with her family.

The girl, who is a student of a college in Chandigarh, had come to the office of DLSA on June 4. As per records, she left her home two days back on June 2 due to unwanted harassment being caused by her parents to her and on the intervening night of June 2 and June 3, she took shelter at her friend’s residence in Amritsar.

Then she took shelter at Darbar Sahib. She further disclosed that after running from pillar to post, she came to know about the DLSA, Amritsar, from “CHATGPT” software. Amardeep Singh Bains, counsellor, who is also the CJM, District Legal Services Authority, said she approached the front office of the DLSA, “She was sobbing and was attended by front office staff and she was counselled. She did not want to take any legal action against her parents, but she gave an application in writing for settlement of dispute with her parents through mediation and conciliation process,” he said.

The DSLA arranged for an online mediation with her parents and after due deliberations for about three hours, the matter was resolved amicably and the girl agreed to go back to her parents’ home in Mohali. Her parents also agreed to take back their daughter to their home. In the meantime, the girl was encouraged by Amardeep Singh Bains, Secretary, DLSA, and she was also offered food and necessities up to the time of her stay. Till the time her parents reached Amritsar from Mohali, the girl was given accommodation in “Sakhi One Stop Centre” at Civil Hospital, Amritsar.
