Moga’s Bonded Labour Scandal: NHRC Slams Punjab Officials

The Moga bonded labour crisis has exposed how deeply entrenched modern slavery remains in India’s brick kiln industry. Earlier this year, The Probe uncovered 56 bonded labourers—including 26 children—trapped in inhuman conditions at Sandhu Brick Industries in Punjab’s Moga district. Families trafficked from Uttar Pradesh were lured with small advances and then forced into debt bo***ge, working without wages under constant threats and abuse.

Though a rescue followed, activists say justice remains elusive. The district administration denied bonded status, refused to issue release certificates, and failed to rehabilitate the workers—actions the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has now slammed as flawed and misleading. In two separate letters, the Commission has demanded accountability, warning officials against shielding perpetrators.

For the rescued labourers, the fight is far from over. Without recognition and rehabilitation, they risk falling back into the same cycle of exploitation. The Moga case is more than a local scandal—it is a test of whether systems meant to protect the most vulnerable will truly deliver justice.

“Whose consent counts?”

In the forests of Odisha, Adivasi communities say their voices were erased.
Signatures of the dead, names of students, and outsiders posing as villagers — all allegedly used to fake consent for a massive Vedanta bauxite mine.

The Odisha High Court has intervened, pausing forest clearance and demanding genuine Gram Sabha consent. For villagers, this is more than a legal fight. These forests are their home, their deity’s abode, their culture, their future.
But the company insists the mine is essential for growth and jobs. The battle is far from over.

Who should decide the fate of these forests — corporations, courts, or the people who live with them?

What should have been a fair test for millions of government job aspirants has turned into India’s biggest exam scandal.

From crashed servers and faulty biometric systems to students being manhandled by bouncers inside exam halls, chaos has defined the SSC exams. Thousands of aspirants traveled hundreds of kilometers, only to find their exams cancelled or rescheduled without notice. Many never got a second chance—because returning meant unbearable costs and shattered hopes.

The controversy doesn’t end at the centres. The newly appointed exam vendor, Eduquity, carries a history of paper leaks and mismanagement, yet was handed control of one of India’s most crucial recruitment tests. From irregular bidding to already-ticked answers inside question papers, the scandal runs deep.

Now, aspirants and educators are on the streets—demanding accountability, a probe into corruption, and a system that doesn’t betray the future of millions.

📌 This is more than an exam failure. It’s a crisis of trust.
