Children rescued from sweat shops

Urgent crisis situation: Hundreds of children from Bihar were rescued in Telangana State (Hyderabad) in a raid on factories that forced them to work 12-hour days in "deplorable conditions," and sent to Patna, where authorities are currently working with NGO/CBOs to find emergency shelter and care.

It is reported that the children were forced to work for nearly 12 hours a day without any respite.

Employers would monitor them with video cameras and any child who stopped working would be beaten.
