43 bonded labourers, including 14 kids, rescued from brick kiln in Tiruvallur
The New Indian Express Chennai
|March 27, 2025
IN a major crackdown on bonded labour, 43 workers from Odisha, including 14 children, were rescued from a brick kiln in Voyalanallur near Tirumazhisai in Tiruvallur district.
The workers had been forced to toil for long hours for nearly three months, with only ₹100 per person per week to cover food and other expenses, officials said.
The labour department received an email complaint about bonded labourers at the kiln on Tuesday. Acting on the complaint, police and officials from multiple departments, including revenue, the child welfare committee, and the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), conducted an inspection.
They rescued the workers and shifted them to a community hall.
The revenue department has since issued 32 release certificates, including for children.
