Jharkhand 法院表示警方必須迅速採取行動。警方必須立即啟動報告,並在兩個月內完成調查。法院還禁止了一項被視為惡劣的醫療檢驗,即所謂的「雙指測試」。

Children born from these crimes get help. They can go to school for free until grade 12. The government will pay for their studies. The court also ordered better bathrooms and security in help centers.

⚡️ Action Words: Must & Can

In this text, we see two very important words that tell us if something is a requirement or a possibility.

1. MUST (100% Necessary) When the court says "Police must act fast," it means they have no choice. It is a rule.

  • Police must start a report → Rule
  • They must finish → Rule

2. CAN (Possible/Allowed) When the text says children "can go to school," it means the door is open for them. They have the permission or the opportunity.

  • They can go to school → Possible/Allowed
