14 Child Labourers Rescued from Firework Factory
18th February, Gujarat: The team of the social defence officer raided the firework factory in Shyamnagar area of the city on Thursday and rescued 14 child labourers. The social defence department raided a quarter on the premises of Rajkot Fireworks Fatories Union Limited (RFFUL), popularly called Classy Fireworks and rescued 11 child labourers from there on Thursday. Acting on a tip off, a team led by Kanak Singh Zala, Social Defence Officer (SDO) of Rajkot district raided a residential quarter on the premises of classy fireworks at around 10:30 am. The team rescued total 19 labourers from the quarter while around 50 others managed to run away. On verification, it was found that 14 of the 18 rescued labourers were child
labourers while the remaining four were found to be adults. “We had the intelligence that out of 70 persons working in the packaging unit of Classy Fireworks, 33 were child labourers who were children between the
agre group of 11-14 years. After getting concrete evidence, we undertook an operation to rescue these child labourers. However, half of them ran away after being instructed by their employers as we approached the factory,” Zala told The Indian Express. A child below the age of 14 years employed in certain occupations or hazardous process is called child labourer. “The rescued labourers were working with machines in the packaging unit of a fireworks factory which is harmful to their health and hazardous too working in shifts of eight hours. Working with machines put these child labourers at the risk of injuries and other hazards,” the SDO added. Kush Sinha, Chairman of Classy Fireworks said the factory had not directly employed these children. “They had been engaged by an outsourcing agency. We had not recruited them. After the matter came to light, we have already terminated our contract with the manpower supply agency which had engaged these children,” said Sinha. The team is conducting further investigation on this and will definitely punish the accused.
