BANDIPORA: Under the Pan-India Rescue and Rehabilitation Campaign for the eradication of child and adolescent labour, the District Task Force under the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1996, conducted a comprehensive awareness and inspection drive in the main town of Bandipora and its adjoining areas.

During the campaign, multiple establishments including hotels, shops, and units in both organized and unorganized sectors were inspected to identify instances of child and adolescent labour. The drive aimed to enforce legal provisions and ensure the protection and rehabilitation of vulnerable children.

As part of the initiative, business owners and general public were sensitized about the legal implications of employing children and the harmful impact of child labour on their health, education, and future. Authorities also emphasized the crucial role of community participation in reporting child labour cases to concerned departments for timely intervention.

The campaign witnessed active participation from officials of Mission Vatsalya, Labour Department, and District Legal Services Authority Bandipora, who collectively reinforced awareness about Child Rights, legal safeguards, and rehabilitation support for rescued children.
