Two of the children were aged 15, while the other two were 16.
Chairman of the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), Advocate Satish Kaushik, along with members Advocate Vikas Atri and Usha Rani, contacted the children’s parents and explained that they should not make their minors work.
“No children should be made to work in hotels, nursing homes, factories, brick kilns or any other workplace that could harm their interests,” Kaushik added.
The CWC warned the parents that if their children were found to be working again, an FIR would be registered against them. The parents assured the committee that they would comply. The team also cautioned the owner of the hotel and the juice shop operator, making it clear that an FIR would be registered against them if they employed children.
