One child was rescued on Monday during the week-long drive against child labour being led by the District Child Protection Unit (DCPU) under the Women and Child Development department.
The 17-year-minor, who hails from another State, was rescued from a shop in the Chala market here.
The drive by the DCPU is part of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR)’s celebration of Elimination of Child Labour Week as part of the ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ to mark 75 years of Indian independence. The drive in 75 places across the country, including Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi, began on June 12 that is observed as World Day against Child Labour.
