Interestingly I found one critic on my findings about the situation of child labour in Firozabad.First of all I heartly welcome my critic and wish some more criticism on my other notes.
As for the clarification on this note,I want to say that I was quite aware about the problem of child labour in Firozabad.This was the reason I went personally and saw few sites.I visited numerous factories ,few of them are largest in Firozabad.I found a big board declaring that "NO CHILD LABOUR IS PRACTISED HERE" at every factory'gate.I went inside and found only two child labours according to Indian definition of Child labour in those premises.I would like to clarify that I have not visited those places where only family members or their acquaintence are working.There can't be anydoubt on my findings.But still I agree with the fact that Child labour has not been abolished completely from Firozabad.Yes there is a lot to be done to remove it completely.But this is true that the situation has improved drastically in recent times.Any one can go and visit Firozabad any time and find out the truth that I have written.
This is true that government's delivery mechanism has failed substantially but there are also some concrete measures have also being taken to root out this menace from Firozabd.We should recognise this fact too.
Still,if some body has anydoubt I will welcome his/her criticism and will provide further clarification on this issue.
Whatever the condition may be of child labour but who ever is working right now there,there condition is not at all good.They are working in a pathetic conditions,high temperature barefoot,no safety measures,no insurence,no labour union,etc.Government must look these issues and take some effective measures to improve the situation.
