Ludhiana, March 17

The district task force against child labour on Friday rescued from the railway station 15 minors, allegedly trafficked to the city for labour, officials said.

The children were between 12 and 15 years old. They were sent to a children’s home in Jamalpur after medical examination, they said.

Deputy Commissioner Surabhi Malik said the children were from various regions of Bihar.

A detailed probe will be conducted and strict action taken against the contractors who brought the children to Punjab, she said.

Malik said the children’s families were being informed so that they could be returned home.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
