Female security, CCTV surveillance: How Delhi govt is making night shifts safer for women
The Delhi government has cleared a proposal allowing women to work night shifts in shops and commercial establishments, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced on Tuesday. Delhi CM Rekha Gupta emphasised that robust safeguards will be put in place to ensure the safety and welfare of women working during night hours.(ANI) The move aims at increasing women's participation in the workforce and transforming Delhi into a round-the-clock business hub, she said. Calling it a "historic decision", Gupta said the step marks a significant push towards women's economic empowerment and self-reliance. She also emphasised that robust safeguards will be put in place to ensure the safety and welfare of women working during night hours. "Delhi will now join the list of states like Haryana, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, where women are permitted to work in night shifts," the chief minister said. "This policy is not just about extending work hours but it is a statement of our intent to create a safer, more inclusive working environment for women in the national capital," Gupta said. Under the proposed framework, employers will be required to obtain written consent from female employees before assigning night shifts, according to a statement. Establishments must provide transport facilities, CCTV surveillance, female security staff and all basic amenities including toilets, restrooms and lockers, it said. Formation of Internal Complaints Committees, as mandated by the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act, will also be compulsory, the statement further said. It also mentioned that the decision involves amendments to the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954, which currently restricts women from working between 9 pm and 7 am in summer and between 8 pm and 8 am in winter. Once cleared by the Lieutenant Governor, the exemptions will formally allow women to work round the clock, it added. As per the statement, to ensure fair treatment of night shift workers, employers must also ensure electronic wage transfers, statutory benefits such as ESI, PF and bonuses, along with weekly offs and overtime pay. "This step will make Delhi a more business-friendly destination while reinforcing our commitment to gender parity at the workplace," the chief minister added.

14 TN fishermen held by Sri Lanka; CM seeks Centre's intervention
Ramanathapuram: As many as 14 fishermen from Rameswaram and Pamban were arrested by the Sri Lankan authorities in two separate incidents on Tuesday for allegedly crossing the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL). Chief minister M K Stalin wrote to Union external affairs minister S Jaishankar, urging immediate diplomatic intervention to secure the release of the detained fishermen and their boats. In the first incident in the early hours of Tuesday, five fishermen aboard a mechanised boat were apprehended by the Sri Lankan navy near the Mannar region, and handed over to the authorities for further action. The arrested were identified as boat owner J Justin, 51, of Thangachimadam, S Denison, 39, and S Sekar, 55, from Pamban, and J Mobin, 24, and T Saimon, 55, from Rameswaram. Later, nine more fishermen who were fishing near Puthalam in a motorised country boat that departed from Pamban on Monday, were apprehended. The fishermen have been identified as K Raja, 44, of Thangachimadam, G Anandam, 49, R Murugadas, 41, and R Sannimel, 27, of Rameswaram, M Ariyappan, 38, of Mandapam, Tikshan, 24, of Pamban, W Murugesan, 51, of Tuticorin, S Kottesami, 45, and P Murugan, 42. In his letter to Jaishankar, Stalin noted that this was the fourth such incident in July and that "repeated apprehensions have caused significant economic and emotional distress" to affected families. He pointed out that currently 235 fishing boats and 68 fishermen from Tamil Nadu are in Sri Lankan custody. "I urge you to address the matter with urgency through appropriate diplomatic channels," the chief minister wrote. Fishermen's associations and leaders have expressed concern over the continued arrests. Jesu Raja, a leader from Rameswaram, said at least 40 fishermen and six boats were apprehended by the Sri Lankan navy since the end of the fishing ban. Members of the Mechanised Boat Fishermen Welfare Association held a protest in Thangachimadam, demanding central govt intervention. President of Tamil Maanila Congress, G K Vasan also condemned the arrests, calling them "a gross injustice" to Tamil Nadu's fishing community. He urged the Centre to ensure the release of all fishermen and boats and to convey to the Sri Lankan govt that such harassment must not continue.
