In a strong statement against child labour, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath described the practice as a 'curse' during the World Day Against Child Labour observance on June 12. He called for collective efforts from citizens to eradicate child labour by ensuring that every child receives education, security, and dignity.
