To ensure a safe working environment for women, the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government issued an order on Saturday stating that no women workers can be forced to work the night shift in factories across the state. If they work during the specified hours, female workers will also receive free transportation, food, and adequate supervision.
"No female worker shall be bound to work without her written consent before 6 am and after 7 pm. The authorities will also have to provide free transportation, food, and sufficient supervision if working during the aforementioned hours," stated the government circular.
