Jammu & Kashmir’s Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo held a review meeting to assess the implementation of the newly introduced labour codes in the union territory.
The Chief Secretary of Jammu & Kashmir, Atal Dulloo, convened a high‑level review to examine how the recently introduced labour codes are being put into practice across the union territory. Officials from the labour department, industry bodies and legal advisors participated in the discussion, providing updates on the steps taken since the codes were notified.
During the session, Dulloo sought a detailed report on compliance levels among employers, the registration of establishments under the new framework, and the mechanisms adopted for grievance redressal. Participants highlighted both progress in registering large enterprises and challenges faced by small and informal sector units in meeting the new statutory requirements.
The Chief Secretary emphasized the need for a phased implementation schedule, urging departments to address bottlenecks such as awareness gaps and limited administrative capacity. He directed senior officials to prepare a consolidated action plan with clear timelines and to submit periodic status reports for further monitoring.
The review is part of the state’s broader effort to align its labour regime with the central government’s reforms, aiming to improve worker protection while fostering a more predictable business environment.
Further updates are expected as the action plan is finalized and communicated to stakeholders across Jammu & Kashmir.
