Although, data from the past four years shows a decreasing trend in such cases, it is bizarre to find a system, ostensibly abolished in 1975, still in practice in some parts of the country.

Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh have witnessed the highest number of releases of such labourers
