Delhi malls likely to team up with Delhi government to banish child labor

The Economic Times reports that the Delhi government is keen on tying up with local malls to refuse items produced by child labor. A senior official said that the labor department has been suggesting to all mall owners to also display posters in the mall’s public spaces that no products had been made using child labor. Malls are also required to check if products have been made by children before giving permission. The move has originated due to raids on zari units which have over 50,000 children employed, most between 5-12 years.
