According to a study conducted in 15 brick factories out of 17 in the sub-metropolis, there are 180 boys and 168 girls, said Pinki Chaudhary, program officer of the base organization. "We have monitored the brick industries in the sub-metropolis and looked at the situation there in detail. It has been found that there are many child laborers there," he said.
At present, the organization has shown interest in rescuing child laborers in the brick industries by making them public.
