Dear brothers and sisters,

It is really unfortunate to see the photo of children carrying electronic voting
machines on the eve of third phase of the Lok Sabha elections in the Bhagalpur
constituency in Bihar on Wednesday( Photo by Ranjeet Kumar) on page no 13 of
today’s The Hindu news paper.

It is painful to notice that police personal escort them.( I assume that the
people in khaki are police Personal).

Are we, the responsible citizens of India, not to be blamed for such child labour
employed by government departments. Do we really have an idea of abolishing
Child labour? Will our politicians ( whom we are going to elect and who promises
to give education for all and eradication of Child labour ) look in into this
issue.

I do not know how many thousands of children are employed in such duties all
over India.

Hope there will be a dawn in the life of those unfortunate children.

I wish those who employed the children for carrying EVM must be punished.

Will this humble and sincere request reach the officials, departments and ministries
concerned?

Let us hope for a Child Labour free India soon.

Jai Hind.
