Child Labourers Rescued in Pune Eateries
In Pune, two young boys from Uttar Pradesh were found working in eateries.
The Labour Department rescued them and took them to the Child Welfare Committee.
The owners of the eateries were booked under the law that says children should not be made to work.
The children might be sent back home or given education if their relatives are found in Pune.
The Labour Department wants people to report such cases so they can stop children from being exploited.
Two child labourers were rescued from eateries in Pune's Kasba Peth and Shaniwar Peth.
Cases were registered against the eatery owners under the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act.
The children, from Uttar Pradesh, were working as waiters and performing other tasks.
The Labour Department conducted the operation after receiving a complaint about minors being employed.
The Child Welfare Committee will decide the next course of action for the rescued children.
