INDIA'S BEST COLLEGES, INSTITUTES and UNIVERSITIES
Some 2 lakh children continue to work as labourers
When police rescued Saraswati Pradhan, an eleven-year-old tribal girl, from Prem Nagar area of Berhampur, a southern Orissa town, she was in a bad shape. She was unable to see properly as both her eyes were swollen. It looked that somebody had beaten her up mercilessly. This was confirmed by a police report.
According to the report, a family residing in the town had brought her from Gresingia village of G.Udaygiri police station area in Kandhamal district to employ her as a domestic help. Her ordeal started five days ago. Her employers and their relatives tortured her after she failed to do domestic work assigned to her. She was allegedly locked up in a room without food for five days, a police source said.
Besides, she was ruthlessly beaten up and branded with hot iron rod. Such incidents of torture are unfailingly reported by the media. This incident too hogged limelight and most of the newspapers ran it on July 16. The dust had yet to settle down when another incident of torture surfaced from Kishan Nagar of Cuttack district. This time a seven-year-old girl was at her employers' mercy. She too was branded with hot iron rod and beaten up. In both these cases, the police arrested the culprits and jailed them. Despite stringent laws, children continue to be tortured and forced to work as domestic servant. Some 21,5222 children in Orissa are forced to work as labourers. It is not only child labourers who are tortured, even schoolchildren are at the receiving end. Recently, a teacher mercilessly thrashed a Class I student in Khantapada area in Balasore district.
Teacher Sandhyarani Panda punished Laxmidhar Majhi, a six-year-old student of Bistupur Upper Primary School, for ignoring her order of not blowing whistle during school hours. The government has failed to curb such incidents. 'More than 200 cases of atrocities against children have been reported in Orissa in 2009. The state government does nothing to save our children from being abused,' said Mahendra Parida, convener of Forum Against Child Exploitation, a NGO working for rescue of children.
