New Delhi, Nov 5 (KNN) With the view to ensure proper implementation of the Act on construction workers, Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya has asked states to ensure that state advisory committees (SACs) under the law meet once in 3 months.
SACs advice states on matters related to administration of legislations that are referred to them.
"Kindly ensure that state advisory committee (SAC) in your state/UT meet once in every three months and take proactive role in implementation of the welfare schemes under the Act," Dattatreya said in his letters to the Chief Ministers.
"It has been noticed that SACs are not meeting regularly on account of which the implementation of the Act has suffered further," he said.
The Labour Ministry had directed states/UTs to constitute SACs through an order issued on October 23, 2015 as they play a very important role in the implementation of the Building and Other Construction workers Act 1996 and Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Cess Act 1996. (KNN Bureau)
