The story of slavery that Jaipur can no longer deny Recent Activity
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has also taken a cue from TEHELKA’s report and has called a meeting of all
district collectors in Jaipur on 23 December. “We plan to use TEHELKA’s findings to confront the Rajasthan government. It is a
peculiar government mindset to think that admitting labourers are in bondage will be a slur on their image. We must accept that we
have not been able to abolish bonded labour and poor families are vulnerable to fall into this trap,” said Laxmidhar Mishra, NHRC
Special Rapporteur, emphasising the need for regular surveys and formation of district-level vigilance committees as prescribed by
the Bonded Labour (Abolition) Act, 1976.
