Free from bonded labour

NELLORE, JULY 28. Three bonded labourers from Tamil Nadu, who escaped from a bakery, have been sent back to their homes, thanks to the initiative shown by a voluntary organisation.

According to Sk. Basheer, executive secretary, Association for Rural Development, Gudur in the district, three boys from Rajakkalpatti village in Tamil Naidu -- S. Kumar (12), M. Kasiraj (14) and S. Balamurugan (15) -- have been lured to Gujarat by one Sadasivan on the promise of some employment and later taken to Tangiyadra town to work in a bakery three months ago. Unable to bear the inhuman conditions, the boys escaped from the bakery a week ago and finally landed at the Tenali railway station. They have been noticed by `Balatejassu' volunteers and brought back to Gudur where the ARD has arranged for their journey to Rajakkalpatti village.
