As many as 91 bonded labourers from two brick kilns of Rajouri Tehsil of Jammu and Kashmir have been rescued and brought to Delhi, in which there are 41 children besides women and men.

All these labourers are from Janjgir-Champa and Raigad districts of Chhattisgarh. They were left in the brick kilns of Haryana and later taken to Jammu, from where they could not get out.

They have been rescued by the National Bonded Abolition Campaign Committee, ActionAid Association and the Human Rights Law Network.
