Commissioner Hyderabad Nadeem ur Rehman Memon has ordered the activation of district anti-bonded labour vigilance committees constituted in all districts of the division and directed the heads of the committees to submit action reports against bonded labour.
Reportedly, the commissioner presided over the meeting at his office on Tuesday and directed the heads of the vigilance committees as well as the officers of the labour department to conduct surveys of brick kilns, farms and mills along with the representatives of concerned non-governmental organisations.
"Action should be taken against those who were involved in violation of the Bonded Labour Act," he maintained while directing the labour department to nominate focal persons in each district of the division.
The district anti-bonded labour vigilance committees should hold monthly meetings regularly and also submit the performance reports to the commissioner's office in the first week of the next month, the Commissioner said.
