In a statement issued on Saturday, Khaskheli said the District Vigilance Committees (DVCs) which were established under the act in every district, had failed to play any significant role in rescuing, protecting and rehabilitating the bonded labourers.

He added that between 2013 and 2023 a total of 12,116 bonded labourers were freed from the clutches of landlords in Sindh, including 4,134 children and 4,037 women.

Khaskheli urged the government to implement the Act and activate DVCs in each district of the province to address bonded labour issues.
