Karnataka State Commission for Women (KSCW) urged the government to take steps to check cases of missing girls in the state and establish a Central monitoring agency for the same.
KSCW chairperson C Manjula said here on Saturday that the report A Case study of Mysore District( Mysore City) had thrown light on cases of missing girls in the city.
The report was prepared by the Centre for the Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy.
Manjula added that the KSCW will soon request Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar to take the problem seriously as 200 girls went missing in a year.
The research covered 16 police stations in Mysore and showed that 1,612 girls and boys were missing since 2009 to 2011. Out of which, there were 769 boys and 843 girls.
