The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has asked the
District Magistrate and Collector to take appropriate action within eight weeks
in tracing the whereabouts of migrant labourer Gura Puta of Patnagarh block,
who had gone to work in brick kilns of Andhra Pradesh five years ago and has
gone missing since then.
The commission passed
the direction while acting on a petition filed by journalist Sudhir Mishra
basing on a news report published in The Pioneer on October 22, 2013 titled as
‘Migrant labourer missing for past five years.’The NHRC has also directed the
Collector to inform the petitioner about the action taken by the
authorities.The petitioner alleged that neither the Labour Department not the
police are taking any action in this regard despite repeated petitions by the
wife of the hapless migrant.
According to reports,
the victim Goura Puta of Goelmara village under Patnagarh police station was
taken to Hyderabad by one Debar Dharuaa of the same village in October 2008 to
work in brick kilns.
