Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in the ongoing Assam Assembly on Monday said that the government would soon bring a law for domestic helpers employed to do household chores.

He said, “The government will soon introduce a new law on domestic helpers.”

“Many tribal children are hired to do household chores. This is noticed by the government,” he added.

If the employers bring children as domestic helpers then they need to notify about it to the police.
