A child labourer, who was trafficked from his home in Bihar to Delhi, was found chained and working in a roadside restaurant. He was later rescued by the Labour department and a child rights NGO.
The rescued boy said: "I was working in this dhaba for the last three months. One day the dhaba owner accused me of stealing Rs.50,000 from his home and started torturing me physically.
"A fortnight ago, he decided to chain me. I could move in the radius of one metre only and worked for more than 15 hours a day with hardly any protection from the cold. Police personnel kept coming to the dhaba, but did nothing to rescue me. Even people saw me like this everyday but nobody did anything," he added.

Child labor is a human rights issue of immense sensitivity. Child labor is considered exploitative by the United Nations and International Labor Organization. “States recognize the right of the child to be protected from economic exploitation and from performing any work that is likely to be hazardous or to interfere with the child’s education, or to be harmful to the child’s health or physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development.” - quoted from http://www.childlabor.in/
