Thiruvananthapuram: Health Minister Veena George has ordered an inquiry into allegations that prayers were offered to expel negative energy at the Thrissur District Child Welfare Office. Health Minister Veena George has directed the Director of Women and Child Development Department to investigate the allegation and submit a report.
Prayers were done to remove negative energy at the Child Protection Office in Thrissur Collectorate. The incident happened two months ago.

Before the end of the office hours, the prayer was conducted under the leadership of the District Child Protection Officer to remove the negative energy.
The child protection officer said that the prayer was led by a priest student in the office. The child welfare officer’s response was that when a fellow clergy student said that prayer is good for relieving mental tension, he agreed. The District Collector has also ordered an inquiry into the incident.
