A 60-year-old man, who was languishing as a bonded labourer in a goat farm for 20 years, was rescued by a District Task Force team in Sivaganga district on January 31. I. Muthu, Assistant Commissioner, Labour Welfare Department, said the team comprising members from Labour Welfare, Social Welfare and Police departments, among others, inspected brick kilns, rice mills, poultry farms and goat farms in the district as part of Bonded Labour Abolition Day on February 9. “As he was denied money by the goat farm owner to return to his village in Andhra Pradesh, he ended up staying on the same farm for 20 years,” she added. Annadurai, owner of the goat farm, was booked under section 143 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Bonded Labour System Act, 1976, by Kalaiyarkoil police.
