• Rescue from Child Labour
In this intervention, CHILDLINE Patna received information that six children from Katihar were being brought to Patna to work as child labourers. The team sprang into action and the police nabbed four traffickers and six children between the ages of 10 to 12 years. A FIR was lodged and the traffickers were booked under the Indian Penal Code, Child Labour Act, Juvenile Justice Act and the Bonded Labour Act. The matter was also brought to the notice of the CWC. A large scale networking exercise between the labour department, senior superintendent of police of Patna , station master of Patna railway station, the DM of Patna and the police stations of Katihar and Kishanganj resulted in the children being restored to their homes with minimum delay. |
