queries police probe during victim’s hospitalizationBY Pamodi WaravitaWomen and Child Development, Preschools and Primary Education, School Infrastructure, and Education Services State Minister Piyal Nishantha De Silva yesterday (22) said that many cases of child labour and employment-related exploitation and abuse go unreported in Sri Lanka. “The Police and the National Child Protection Authority (NCPA) are already investigating this. It is not just a responsibility of the NCPA, the Police, or the Justice Ministry, but of each citizen,” noted De Silva. But where is the justice for these crimes?” questioned Women’s Organisation for Justice Convenor Nirosha Athukorala. Meanwhile, multiple investigations by the Police, the NCPA, and the Labour Department have been launched into the incident.
