Mumbai, July 30 -- The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has blacklisted a contractor for two years and cancelled its registration after an inquiry found that child labour was used during desilting work at the Korba Mithagar drain in Wadala. The contractor has also been barred from participating in BMC tenders and executing civic works during the period. Additional municipal commissioner (projects) Abhijeet Bangar confirmed the action to HT.

The BMC concluded that at least three minors had been engaged during execution of the contract. The civic body barred M/s Vyom Corporation from participating in municipal tenders for two years....
