Rescued Nepali girls handed over to NGO

PATNA: Madhubani district magistrate Atish Chandra on Wednesday handed over five Nepalese minor girls to a Nepal-based NGO - Maiti in order to rehabilitate them. All these five minor girls were recently rescued by a local NGO Gram Vikas Parishad (GVP) from the clutches of the proprietors of a Kolkata based Western circus for violating the Child Labour Act.
The circus owner had neither been following the rules and regulations of the Act nor allowing the girls to go their home.DM said that the circus owner had been using these girls only on hazardous jobs which is a violation of the Act.
The labour commissioner Vivek K Singh while congratulating GVP secretary S N Jha in rescuing minor girls promised for all kind of support in future.
