The ultimate goal of the government is to make the state entirely child labour-free. To achieve this, the department of labour welfare was conducting continuous inspections and raids, and legal action was being taken against defaulting establishments, according to labour welfare minister J Mohamed Farvas.
He told mediapersons at Pudukkottai on Friday on the sidelines of a self-help group function that public welfare schemes were
being implemented across Tamil Nadu for the benefit of the people.

They don’t have any content to talk about, which is why they are talking like this, he opined.
