The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to waive loans obtained by Palamoor labour of Mahbubnagar district from private moneylenders and contractors.
This decision was taken in view of instances of exploitation of labour by contractors, who retained the workers with meagre amounts after giving loans to them.
“The poor people are being treated like bonded labour,” Rural Development Minister Vatti Vasant Kumar said.
