UP govt withdraws order increasing daily working hours to 12 from 8 -Somesh Jha

The UP government's Ordinance, however, proposes increase in working hours from 8 to 10 hours a day

New Delhi: The Uttar Pradesh government on Friday withdrew an order increasing the daily working hour limit in manufacturing units from eight to 12 hours. The move came a day after the Allahabad High Court issued a notice to the State on a public interest litigation challenging the order.

In a communication to the Allahabad high court on May 15, Uttar Pradesh principal secretary (labour) Suresh Chandra said the order increasing the working hour in the state has been withdrawn. The matter was listed for hearing on May 18 in the high court.

Following the footsteps of many other state governments, the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government had issued an order on May 8 increasing the maximum working hours in a day to 12 hours from eight hours or from 48 hours to 72 hours in a week under the Factories Act of 1948.
