Denizens of Saptari district have launched a signature campaign to achieve an ambitious goal of making the district free of child marriage and dowry within five years.
A chapter formed on Monday under Dinesh Kumar Yadav has collected around thousand signatures in the district with their commitment to achieve the goal.
A survey carried out last year by Unicef found out that Saptari had the highest cases of child marriage and dowry related cases among the six districts in the Tarai belt.
