New Delhi: Eleven children were rescued from fan-making factories and a restaurant in Patel Nagar on Saturday in a raid led by the district magistrate, Patel Nagar, and conducted by the labour department (west), Delhi Police, and NGOs Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA) and Bal Vikas Dhara.
Eight such factories have been sealed in the Patel Nagar area. The rescued children, aged 13 to 17, are from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
All the children were medically examined and sent to shelter homes.
