56 bonded labour of Chhattisgarh rescued from J&K brick kiln

RAIPUR: Following several incidents of bonded labour and human trafficking in Chhattisgarh, fresh case of nearly 56 bonded labours of state being kept in confinement and forced to work without payment and food at Jammu & Kashmir has come to the fore.
According to preliminary reports, all the bonded labourers hail from janjgir-Champa district and were taken to Jammu's Navashehar tehsil by a local contractor called Faggu to work at brick kiln.

Cases of rescuing bonded labour of state has taken a toll in last two years with 350 labours rescued by a Delhi based NGO — Bonded labour liberation front.

Director of NGO Nirmal Gorana told TOI that these 56 labours were sold off by Faggu to a contractor in Jammu who shuttled them from Jammu to Kashmir as per the requirement of work.

"The lot of 56 includes 31 children with minimum seven month old baby to maximum 50 year old man. The children were also used as labours at brick kiln. While they lead their life with advance payment given to them in tits and bits, the contractor has neither paid them from last three months, nor has provided food or allowed them to return home," Nirmal said.

The natives of Chhattisgarh are on their return journey and after working for over a year, they have nothing to bring back home, in stead the little silver ornaments and utensils they had were sold off to arrange for food.

Talking about insensitive attitude of Chhattisgarh government and administration at J&K Nirmal also alleged of receiving threats not to indulge amid non co-operative attitude of governments. Rather a divisional commissioner at Jammu claimed that they have not noticed any initiation by Chhattisgarh government on the issue while thousands of labour from state migrate to J&K through local brokers who violate interstate migrant worksmen Act. "But there was no monitoring or regulation being done against the local touts by labour department," Nirmal alleged.

Over 117 bonded labours were rescued from J&K in February this year by same NGO.
