Govt to classify security guards as 'skilled' workers
The government will soon categorise security guards as 'skilled' workers and armed security guards and supervisors as 'highly skilled' workers. This will entitle them to a minimum monthly wage of ₹15,000 and ₹25,000 respectively, Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya said. This will benefit over 50 lakh private security personnel, and provide social cover to over 2.5 crore family members, he added.
