A group of brick-kiln workers have alleged they were kept forcibly at a brick-kiln in Hisar's Mangali village and were not paid their dues by the brick-kiln owner. They got freed after a Rajasthan- based NGO intervened and the district administration resolved the dispute between the brick-kiln owner and the labourers on Wednesday. Labourer Prabhu Ram had complained to the district administration that a group of 50 labourers of 11 families were being treated as bonded labourers by the brick-kiln owner for past some days.
