Action will be taken to rescue child labourers in city: Delhi govt to HC

The AAP government on Thursday assured the Delhi High Court that action will be taken to rescue minors trafficked from various parts of the country and forced to work as bonded labourers here on getting actionable information.

A bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, which observed that the issue is of absolute priority, directed the Delhi government counsel to file a status report on the action taken in the matter.

The high court was hearing a PIL seeking direction to the authorities to raid and rescue over 1,000 minors trafficked from various parts of the country and forced to work as bonded labourers here.
