Gehlot Urges Rajasthan Govt. to Implement Gig Workers Law
Imagine you're a delivery driver or ride-share worker, like those using apps.
A former leader in Rajasthan wants the current government to help these workers.
He wants them to have better protections, like insurance and fair working hours, because a law was created for them in 2023.
This law was supposed to make life better for these gig workers.
He's asking the government to use this law, so that the workers get the benefits they deserve.
Former Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot urged the current government to implement the Gig Workers Welfare Act.
The Act was passed in 2023 by the Congress government to provide social security for gig workers.
The law includes provisions for a welfare fund, insurance, and regulated working hours.
Gehlot cited the recent approval of a similar ordinance in Karnataka.
He appealed to the current government to enforce the law and provide gig workers with social security.
