Madurai: Fifty three children kept in an illegal home at nearby Kadachandeal were today rescued in a raid by district officials who sealed it, a senior social welfare officer said.
The action was taken on a complaint that the home was being run without proper amenities, Social Welfare officer Vijayalakshmi said.
She said officials found that the children were not being given proper food nor was there proper protection for them. The rooms too were unhygienic.
Vijayalakshmi said 14 children were handed over to their parents, while 39 were admitted to another children's home run by a voluntary organisation.
