Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
In a jolt to Delhi government's move to increase minimum wages of labourers, the President has returned Minimum Wages (Delhi) Amendment Bill, 2015, which had a provision for a strict penalty for those violating the labour laws in the city. Delhi labour minister Gopal Rai said it was a sad development and that the matter will be discussed with the chief minister, once they receive the file. "This is sad that bill has been returned. Government is trying that the hiked minimum wages, should reach the people. We will again try. We haven't received the file and will work out the details after going through the file," said Rai.
