HYDERABAD: A recent report compiled by a non-governmental organisation (NGO), shows 3,100 bonded farm workers were freed during 2020; however, what happened to them later is a different story.
They collected this data from local newspapers, saying the number of workers residing in the worst situation may be higher than these figures.
Mostly, one or two members of bonded families fled the farms, which have been turned as concentrated camps, and moved the courts, which tasked police to rescue the workers.
But the author of the report, Akram Khaskheli, leading Hari Welfare Association (HWA), has been unable to find out where did those freed workers go and what were they doing now to survive?

‘Farmers in Sindh receive Rs6,000 per month’

KARACHI: Marking International Labour Day on Saturday, the Hari Welfare Association (HWA) lamented that in the rural areas of Sindh, millions of workers in agriculture and brick kilns are without social security and decent work, including the minimum wage.
HWA head Akram Khaskheli claimed that these workers hardly received Rs6,000 per month in salary against the Rs17,500 minimum wage promised by the Sindh government for unskilled workers in 2019. The HWA stated that because of unemployment and lack of education and skills, millions of young people were forced to work around 14 hours a day at grocery shops, restaurants, and workshops just for Rs5,000 per month in rural parts of Sindh, and among them were women and girls who picked cotton and chillies but received meagre wages.
