EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, July 21: In violation of the Child Labour Act, an 11-year-old boy can be seen working as a record keeper in BSNL office at Bahu Plaza here. BSNL general manager Savarkar, however, said the boy had been engaged by a BSNL franchisee and not by his office.He also assured action against the section officer under whom the boy was working.
BSNL sources, however, said Anil (11) was engaged by a BSNL franchisee after all franchisees in Jammu were asked to put their representatives in the office to search out their records. The need in this regard had arisen after the defence ministry’s instructions to find out the number of unregistered subscribers here. There were reports that SIMs registered in fake names had landed in the hands of militants.
Sources said as the records were being scrutinised in a hurry after the home ministry’s directive, no one noticed that a child had been engaged to do the work.
