Madhya Pradesh suspends licence of Som Distilleries over child labour row

The Hindu  

The Madhya Pradesh Government on June 19 temporarily suspended the licence of Som Distilleries, a liquor factory in Raisen district. In a post on X, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minster Mohan Yadav said, “Madhya Pradesh is a state which is cited as an example in the country, so if anyone commits a crime here, he will not be spared. M/s Som Distilleries Private Limited in Raisen district has been booked for the heinous crime of child labour, so its license has been suspended. Even though an FIR was also filed on June 16 adding charges of child labour and bonded labour, police officials from Raisen have been tight lipped about further proceedings.
