A Norwegian court has handed over two NRI children to their paternal uncle ending months of custody row. The children were taken away by the Child Welfare Services in Norway last year and kept in Foster Care for lack of proper child care.

The court gave the custody of Abhigyan and Aishwarya to their uncle Arunabhas Bhattacharya yesterday. Paternal uncle stated that the conditions for the care of the children in India have been made. The children are expected to reach India today along with uncle and officials of the External Affairs Ministry.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had taken up the matter with his Norwegian counterpart during the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul last month.
