The Peace Secretariat welcomes the establishment of hotlines on which disappearances and related problems can be reported immediately for investigation. The Policy Unit of SCOPP had discussed this problem with the Ministry of Disaster Management and Human Rights and notes the swift implementation of suggestions in this regard.

The Ministry launched hotlines (011-2676513 and 060-2119246) to report disappearances, at the Disaster Management Centre at the BMICH premises this week.

On the very first day 17 queries via these hotline numbers to the Disaster Management Centre were received.
