“The root cause of child labour is mainly due to the poverty of the parents and the children are forced into begging and lose their future. There is a possibility that these children sometimes become juvenile criminals and also anti-social forces use them for committing crimes,” Sudheer Babu said.

The commissioner reiterated that stringent measures were being taken to eliminate human trafficking and child labour from Rachakonda. “We are acting harshly on human trafficking and rescued several children until now. Cases have been booked on the traffickers too,” the CP added.
