RAHIM YAR KHAN, March 16: The UAE government will help all camel jockey children to get their outstanding dues. This was stated by UAE special representative Maj Ibrahim Hasan Muhammad while distributing dues among jockeys in a ceremony held here on Thursday at the Child Protection Welfare Bureau (CPWB).

He said this dangerous game had been banned completely with the cooperation of the UAE government and Unicef. Thousands of children were being sent back to Pakistan, India and Bangladesh while the rest of them would soon be sent.

Talking to Dawn, he said the UAE government had specifically sent him here to distribute thousands of dirhams among the children whose dues were payable by Arab camel owners.

A representative of the UAE embassy in Islamabad, Nasir Muhammad Rashid, said his government would cooperate in the rehabilitation of the jockey children.

CPWB resident director Ali Raza Farhan said that the CPWB had been established in Rahim Yar Khan for a year and we had unified 161 jockey children to their parents after identification.
