Officials rescued two minors from bonded Labour in an aquaculture industry in Karavadi village, Ongole. The boy and girl, from Dindori district in Madhya Pradesh, had their wages withheld and mobile phones confiscated for over two months. They were threatened with severe consequences if they tried to leave without consent. While six coworkers returned to Madhya Pradesh, the minors were left behind in harsh conditions. Alerted by the returning labourers, the Prakasam District Bonded Labour Vigilance Committee launched its first successful operation, directed by District Collector A Thameem Ansariya and led by RDO Lakshmi Prasanna. The Collector met the minors, issued relief certificates, and ensured arrangements for their safe return to Madhya Pradesh. This marked a key step in combating bonded and child labour. |
