The Bihar government has rescued 122 child labourers during a drive conducted from May 1 to 30, with FIRs filed against 60 employers for employing them illegally. Inspections were carried out at 222 locations across 38 districts, targeting establishments such as hotels, workshops, and households. Under the leadership of Labour Minister Arun Shankar Prasad, special teams comprising district administration, police, and child protection units were formed to enforce child labour laws. The rescued children will be linked to rehabilitation and education programs, with each receiving ₹25,000 from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund to support their reintegration into society. The Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition & Regulation) Act, 1986, imposes fines of ₹20,000 to ₹50,000 and potential jail time for violators. Additionally, awareness campaigns were launched in conjunction with World Day Against Child Labour, emphasizing the importance of education and the need to eliminate child labour in Bihar.
