Udupi, Feb 22: Officials of the district labour department raided a hotel in Madhuvana village in the taluk, and took into custody a child labourer working in a hotel there.

The raid was conducted on Tuesday February 21, in association with ‘Spoorthi’ a voluntary organization based in Koteshwar. The boy reportedly is a native of Tamill Nadu.

The child labourer, who is aged about ten, said that his name is Vighneshwara, and that he was working here as a cleaner since about a year.

After following legal formalities, the officials handed over the boy to the care of Spoorthi Dhama.

    PP Bangalore has said it all, it is a joke by these spoorthy, this is nothing but a business rivalry, if the spoorthy are really intrested, almost all construction in Udupi district alone will come to a halt, what a joke this owner must have refused to bribe or the bribe given must have been not to their standard, need not go far off, just udupi hotels are enough and construction sites are enough, even some express bus cleaners are below 15, are the Bijapuris who are hired by the constructions kings are quite young as well, this is just a publicity stunt by these NGO

    Hearty congratulations to you Spoorthi Dhama for rescuing this child from the clutches of his employeer. What a tender age, at this Age children are going to school, play, enjoy the love and care of parents. The dire poverty of parents must have forced them to send this little one to work. Hope Spoorthi Dhama will continue to sponsor him and see that he is educated. If he is sent back to his parents, he will end up again as a child labourer somewhere else.
    One more thing, I would prefer to call this community as backward or Harijans rather than Koragas. We educated people should show some concern and strive for the upliftment of these people. It is not their fault that they belong to this community.

    May be this hotel did not bribe the relevant authorities and that is why they were caught. Otherwise there is no reason for this to become media news, when hundreds of hotels, restaurants, businesses and households employ child labourers.
