NHRC: Child labour rampant in the country

NHRC has directed Aligarh District Administration in Uttar Pradesh to submit within 4 weeks its report on the rampant child labour by the lock industry. NHRC in its order issued yesterday has taken serious note of its study carried out by Aligarh Muslim University and investigation carried out by a leading English daily from New Delhi alleging that around 14 thousand children in the age group of 5 to 16 years are presently working in Aligarh. A complaint was filed by Radakanta Tripathy , an advocate who had demanded action against the employers of child labour for violating the human rights of children. NHRC in its order has said in case Deputy Magistrate and Labour Commissioner Aligarh failed to submit report NHRC may proceed to take such action as it may deemed fit.
