They have been asked to submit a report within four weeks.

If the rescued bonded labour is from another state, they are paid Rs 1,000 among other procedures that are followed. The collector, however, said he was not aware of the NHRC notice.

They demanded criminal proceedings, among other actions, in Special Fast Track Courts against the perpetrators of violence against bonded labourers and migrants.

The NHRC also issued notices to the chief secretary and principal secretary, labour and employment, Government of Odisha to submit reports within four weeks about the action taken to monitor the conditions of inter-State bonded migrant labourers from Odisha to other States and issues of their wages and children's education and future.
