    Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday met Nobel laureate and child rights activist Kailash Satyarthi and assured him of his government's best efforts to remove child labour from the national capital.

    Kejriwal said the Delhi government would do its best and all required steps would be taken to regulate these agencies.
