Kerala sets up panel for amendments to Act

Our Bureau

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Assembly Committee on Subordinate Legislation has recommended amendments to some of the provisions of the Kerala Loading and Unloading (Regulation of Wages and Restriction of Unlawful Practices) Act, 2002 and the rules framed thereunder.

These provisions have been found to be biased against the larger interests of headload workers, the Chairman, Mr T.V. Chandramohan, and other members of the Committee told newspersons here.

The committee singled out for special mention the provisions in the Act relating to suo motu police intervention in a dispute involving headload workers.

The Government had brought in the legislation in 2002 with several path-breaking provisions as a confidence-building measure for investors.
