Five states not ready with draft rule on three Labour Codes: Labour Minister Shobha Karandlaje

Parliament was informed that some states lag in pre-publishing draft rules for labour codes. The central government has already held consultations. Four states/UTs need to address the Wage Code. Five states/UTs need to address the Industrial Relations, Social Security, and Occupational Safety codes. Meetings are being held to assist them. These codes simplify 29 existing laws into four.
