As per information, the girl was given to carry out heavy-duty tasks like carrying stones, sand etc. from the residence of one Avatar Singh at the time of rescue.
The rescue team consisted of Hojai DSLA secretary Pronita Morang, advocate Ruhina Waris and a team of Lanka Police.
It is unfortunate that despite implementing strict laws against child labour, Avatar Singh has been alluring the poor child to work at his home neglecting the harsh consequences of forced child labour and its effects both mentally and physically, the DSLA said
