The National Democratic Alliance government has sought to liberalise the contract labour system in the country through labour codes introduced in Parliament on Saturday by giving companies a free hand to hire such workers, along with an easier licensing regime. The central trade unions of the country are livid at the passing of the bill adversely affecting the interests of the workers. They have planned for country wide agitation against the passing of the bill by taking advantage of the present pandemic.
