Govt hikes min wage for contract workers to ₹10k
The Government has increased minimum wage for contract workers to ₹10,000 per month, "taking into consideration the Consumer Price Index and Dearness Allowance", Union Minister Bandaru Dattatreya said on Monday. Dattatreya had said on April 17 that the government will bring out an executive order to increase the minimum wage to ₹10,000 because "the Opposition is not cooperating in Parliament".
