LAHORE, July 8: The second batch of 86 Pakistani children, involved in camel race as jockeys in the United Arab Emirates, returned home on Thursday. The three to 18 years old children were received at the Allama Iqbal International Airport by officials of the Child Protection Welfare Bureau, Overseas Pakistani Foundations, Unicef and Federal Investigation Agency.

Chief minister’s adviser and CPWB chairperson Dr Faiza Asghar said all resources would be utilized to eliminate the practice of involving children in camel race.
