Weekly child rescue drive govt vowed in Sept yet to start: NGO

The district labour department has failed to deliver its promise to conduct weekly operations to rescue child labourers in Gautam Budh Nagar, child rights NGOs alleged on Friday.

In September, the Gautam Budh Nagar assistant labour commissioner M K Joshi had announced with great fanfare that his department had formed two teams to conduct rescue operations, one each in Noida and Greater Noida, every week. But it now appears that the initiative never kicked off.
