KAILASHAHAR, Nov 27 (TIWN): Left rule Government where claims to gain hundred percent literacy and urges that every individual should be educated, many children less than 18 years of age are working as labour under scorching heat in many areas of Kailashahar.

Despite of constituting State commission for the protection of child rights, children are witnessed working in houses as maid servant, in the brick industries and in many more sectors.

Reportedly, less than 14-year old child were also witnessed working in the brick field at Kailashahar. So far no initiatives are being taken o stop the child labour in the areas.

The age when the hands of the children are to hold pen and paper to gain education and to enhance their knowledge, they are busy in handing the budget of their household.

Reportedly, toiling under the baking hot tropical sun, these workers are carrying out back-breaking and exhausting labour in the most perilous conditions.

Ranging in age from pre-teens to grandparents, they work long hours to churn out millions of bricks to fuel a construction boom that shows no signs of abating.

The brick kilns serve as a source of livelihood for thousands of unskilled labourers from across the country. However, hit with the poverty most of the families force their children to work in the fields for their stomach.

The practice deprives the children of their childhood. It refers to work that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful to children, or work whose schedule interferes with their ability to attend regular school, or work that affects in any manner their ability to focus during school or experience a healthy childhood.

However, on one hand where the Chief Minister is busy in attending rallies and campaigning for the upcoming election, on the other hand many families are sleeping empty stomach and their children are working in various sectors to meet their livelihood.

If the Government work for the public and meet their need than the campaigning before any election would not have been necessary.

State public where sleeping empty stomach, on the other hand political parties are spending crores for campaigning and to manipulate people to vote for them.

Now the question arises, if the party would have worked for the State honestly than was the campaigning necessary?

To boast themselves as on the top of the hierarchy, CPI-M is busy to arrange hi-funda programmes as another measure tactics to show how strong the grip of left front in Tripura.

However, all the political parties are busy in making promises which turn fake after coming into rule.
