Traffickers get life-term for chopping off labourers' hands
Eight human traffickers, who were found guilty of chopping off the hands of two labourers, were sentenced to life and given hefty fines in Bhubaneswar on Sunday. The labourers were reportedly assaulted for not agreeing to the terms of the labour agent. According to government data, around 2,82,000 workers have been freed from bonded labour in India since 1978.
