New Delhi: The Delhi government has issued the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to all the authorities concerned for rescue and financial assistance of bonded labourers.

According to the SOP, the information received by the district magistrates or sub-divisional magistrates pertaining to bonded labourers, must be kept strictly confidential and the rescue should be done within 24 to 48 hours.

“The rescue must be done in a manner that assures all victims of their safety and dignity. 

“Representatives from various departments involved, particularly the police department, must be present on the ground at the time of rescue,” it stated.

It also stated that the authorities concerned should also provide financial assistance to the rescued victims.

An official of the labour department said that the move will ensure better coordination between different departments in rescuing the bonded labours.

“On the basis of the preliminary inquiry and information recorded, the DM/SDM must make a prime-facie finding/report as to whether the case is one of bonded labour or not and pass an order recording the same within 24 hours.

It also stated that the DM or SDM will ensure that the victims, who do not have any identification, are assisted with applying for an Aadhaar card within 48 hours of the rescue and the same are received as soon as possible.
