  Eight-year-old Dipti, daughter of a migrant worker, living with her parents in a brick kiln in Thiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu received a phone call of this correspondent on Sunday evening and without waiting for any conversation from the site, she hurriedly said, "We are leaving the kiln now; father is packing our things."
