A raid by authorities rescued 328 bonded labourers, including 106
children, from a brick kiln in Thiruvallur district in Tamil Nadu.
The labourers rescued hail from Odisha and were allegedly made to work
for 12 hours per day on a salary of Rs 20, officials said.
The raid was conducted by a district administration team led by revenue
official S Jayachandran on Saturday based on inputs from an NGO,
International Justice Mission, about the plight of the labourers.
