All child labourers were reportedly made to work from 9 am till midnight every day.
In a joint operation by the Delhi police and some NGOs, 41 child labourers have been rescued from toy factories in Delhi’s Azad Market. The operation was launched by Arvind Rana, SDM Kotwali Darya Ganj, Labour department, Bal Vikas Dhara, Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi's Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA) and a police team late on Tuesday.
In the operation, 12 factories on Ram Bagh Road in Azad Market have been sealed. FIRs have been registered against the owners of the factories in Bara Hindu Rao Police Station. The children, in the age group of 13-17 years, when rescued were bare feet and in torn clothes.
They were reportedly made to work from 9 am till midnight every day. Without enough food or even a proper place to sleep, they slept in the same room once they were done with the work post-midnight. The children belong to Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal.
Once rescued, a preliminary medical examination of each rescued child was conducted by medical officer, CDMO, Nabi Karim. The children were later produced before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) after which they have been shifted to a shelter home.
