Group of migrants in Greater Noida say they were forced into bondage during pandemic

Noida: “No one listens to the poor man,” said 16-year-old Ramkishor outside the Gautam Budhha Nagar District Magistrate’s office on Tuesday. While he said he has that figured out, he was there waiting for someone to help him and his family out of the bonded labour situation.

Ramkishor, his parents and two younger siblings, who are from Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh, along with three other families from Sagar in Madhya Pradesh said they had been working without pay at a construction site in Aicher village in Greater Noida for the past two months.

Payments stopped

The payment of small amounts every few days, sometimes 500 or 1,000, for expenses also stopped about 20 days ago and the contractor went missing, says Ramkishor’s mother, Haribai.

The group of workers had been hired by a contractor and were working at the private construction site since November. Their principal employer had stopped paying wages two months ago, a complaint to the DM and the police by Badhua Mukti Morcha on May 9 said.
