Nineteen Children Rescued from Delhi Factories; Nine Owners Arrested
Nineteen children aged 10 to 17 were rescued from garment and artificial jewellery factories in East Delhi's Gandhi Nagar area, where they worked long hours for low wages. Five children were under 14, and one was a girl. The youngest earned just Rs 10 daily. Nine factory owners were arrested, and nine units sealed following raids by authorities and NGOs. The children, brought from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, underwent medical checks and were sent to a children's home. FIRs were filed under child protection laws.
