Odisha Child Labour

A 26-year-old Odisha government employee claimed that she lost her child in the womb after allegedly being denied leave by a Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) while experiencing severe labour pain at her office in Kendrapara district.

In a horrific case of torture and child labour in Odisha's capital Bhubaneswar, an 11-year-old girl was assaulted in Nayapalli while she was illegally employed as a house help.

The circumstances of Dana Manjhi -- the Odisha labourer who was photographed trekking a 10-km way home, carrying the blanket wrapped body of his wife - appear to be on an unending loop across India.

As many as 49 child workers, including 20 from Bihar, have been rescued from small-scale units in Ganjam and Gajapati districts of Odisha.

Eighteen child labourers were rescued in joint raids by different agencies from Bhanjanagar in Ganjam district of Odisha, official sources said today.
