Brick kilns are STILL functioning but labour officials are not visiting them to check for labour violations and payment of wages. The workers from Orissa have no shops in vicinity owing to lockdown and are left with just 12kg rice handouts and Rs500 https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/2020/apr/09/brick-kiln-workers-left-with-only-rice-to-eat-allege-activists-2127731.html

As you can see freshly made bricks placed in sun. The activists who went there say that even if work is being done, officials must ensure checks are done to ensure they are no exploited. One workers roughly earns Rs400 for a week. Hope they are paid @chmallareddyMLA

Some pictures by the team who visited the site. Since kilns are away from villages, the few shops which they accessed are closed. There is no milk, no pulses, No vegetables for them. 324 children in 64 worksites
