As many as 22 boys of Jharkhand aged below 14 years working as bonded labourers in Jaipur were recently rescued from Rajasthan. A team of State labour department officials and Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) will be reaching with the rescued kids at Koderma on Wednesday.
“Few days back, a Jaipur based NGO named Bal Sanghrash Sangha Abhiyaan informed us that 22 minor boys of our state have been rescued by them. We immediately coordinated with the state government and left for Jaipur,” BKS member Virendra, accompanying the children in the train connecting Jaipur and Koderma said in a telephonic conversation to The Pioneer on Tuesday.
He added, “Some children belong to Chatra while others from Giridih. We will hand over these children to their
parents once we reach Koderma tomorrow.”
The children were taken by some agents with the greed of getting handsome amount of money, claim sources.
