Our Bureau

Hyderabad , Sept. 30

THOUSANDS of children engaged in child labour doing menial jobs in hotels spread across the State will be freed and admitted to skill-development courses being taken up soon.

The Andhra Pradesh Hotels Association and the Iranian Hotel Owners' Association and Hyderabad Hotel Owners' and Confectioners' Association have, in a bid to eliminate child labour from the hotel sector, joined hands to discuss the problem at a State-level convention here on Wednesday.

Briefing newsmen about the convention, Mr C.S. Reddy, Chief Executive Officer of CEASE-Child Labour (a Consortium of Employers' Associations for the Elimination of Child Labour), said the meeting would be attended by Mr I.P. Anand and Mr N.M. Adyanthaya, two top ILO (International Labour Organisation) governing body members representing the employers and trade unions.
