My name is Nirmal Gorana. I am an activist of Bandhua Mukti Morcha. We work for release of bonded labors. We are hearing that there are thousands of bonded laborers from Chhattisgarh in Jammu and Kashmir but Chhattisgarh govt is showing no interest for their release. We got 35 Chhattisgarhi bonded laborers from Rajouri district released but J&K govt did not give them release certificate. Govt of CG did not put any pressure. We got 29 people released from Haryana and the Govt gave them certificate but CG govt has not rehabilitated them and they are on verge of becoming bonded again.
