NHRC sends notice to Maharashtra over torture of 11 worker

Subject :Polity

Section  National Body

Concept :

  • Days after Maharashtra police rescued 11 labourers who were being held captive by a contractor in Osmanabad district of Maharashtra, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) issued a notice to the State Government over the issue.
  • The NHRC had observed that the Provisions of the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976 had been grossly violated by the contractor in this case.
  • The incident clearly indicated the failure of the local administration to safeguard the labourers from such brutality committed upon them by the contractors, without any fear of the law. The officers who failed to do their lawful duty were required to be dealt with as per law.

Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976

  • To abolish bonded labour in India, the Parliament of India enacted the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976.
  • The District Magistrates were given the authority to enforce the Bonded Labour System Abolition Act of 1976.
  • As per this act, trials for labour offences could be set up at local and national levels by the Indian Judicial powers.
  • However, due to poor implementation of the law, there were almost 3,00,000 bonded labourers in India as per the figures put out in 2009 by the Ministry of Labour and Employment.
