New Delhi, December 11
Labour Minister Gopal Rai on Tuesday ordered the registration of an FIR against an outsourcing firm at state-run Madan Mohan Malaviya Hospital for allegedly not complying with minimum wages rules.
The action came after Rai made a surprise inspection at the hospital today as part of the government's 10-day special drive to ensure the minimum wage rules notified by the AAP government are being complied.
Rai found alleged irregularities during the inspection and directed officials of the enforcement team to ensure that an FIR against the company is lodged.
"The labour minister has directed the firm officials to appear before the deputy labour commissioner's office with proper documents on December 26," said the government in a statement.
The minimum wages applicable in Delhi from November this year are Rs 14,000 per month for unskilled workers, Rs 15,400 per month for semi-skilled workers and Rs 16,962 monthly for skilled workers.
The department had launched the special drive to check whether minimum wage rules are being followed in the national capital. The operation was conducted at 16 places in south district.
