Description
Executive Committee Member of the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) Raja Adeel Ashfaq has urged the federal and provincial governments to ensure implementation of laws, rules and regulations regarding child labour in true spirit. In a statement, he said that child labour and rising crimes of torture against minors is tarnishing the soft image of the country. “Child labour is a universal problem and a family being a unit of a society has a direct impact on the socioeconomic development of a country; therefore, the best course of action through which it can be tackled is a phased strategy,” he said. Child labour is not only a social issue, but is also against the humanitarian ethics and also directly linked with the external trade of any country, as developed world is reluctant to do business with those countries, which are still struggling to eliminate child labour, he said. He stressed the need for consistent and aggressive approach to root out this problem.
