Three Children Rescued From Begging, Child Labour In Hathras

A rescue campaign against begging and child labour was carried out in Hathras on 08 October, resulting in the rescue of three children. The campaign was conducted in compliance with the orders of the Hon'ble High Court.

The joint team, working under the direction of District Probation Officer Mrs Seema Maurya, included the District Child Protection Unit, the Special Juvenile Police Unit and the Anti-Human Trafficking Police. The team carried out the operation in the Tehsil Sadabad area.

During the campaign, the team rescued three children. One of the children was found begging, while two others were found involved in child labour. The team immediately took all three children into its care and initiated legal action as per the rules.

After the necessary process was completed, the three children were handed over to their family members. The authorities said the required action was completed before the children were returned to their families.

District Probation Officer Mrs Seema Maurya said that the campaign to free children from begging and child labour, and to ensure their protection, would continue regularly.

She also appealed to the general public to immediately inform the concerned department or the police if any child is seen begging or working as child labour. She said that such information would help ensure that the children receive a safe and better environment.

The rescue campaign was attended by Deepak Chauhan, Law-cum-Probation Officer; Manisha Bhardwaj, Centre Manager, One Stop Centre; Kailash Chandra, Outreach Worker; Sub-Inspector Sunil Kumar; Sub-Inspector Arvind Kumar; and Constable Shivam Chaudhary, along with the concerned officers and employees.
