The Women and Child Development Ministry is working on an online platform to serve as a single-window clearance for complaints against child sexual abuse content online. The ministry is part of an inter-ministerial committee, along with the Ministry of Information Technology and the Home Ministry, looking into child sex abuse content online. The committee is likely to issue a set of standard operating procedures soon for internet providers while dealing with abuse content online. "The platform will be initiated by the WCD ministry, and we hope to have it running in five to six months. It will have a mechanism to deal with complaints about such content in real time," said a WCD ministry official.
