Provide transportation, ensure CCTVs in place: Delhi govt nod for women to work night shifts
Women can now work night shifts in Delhi and will have to be given transportation, while establishments that employ them will have to ensure comprehensive CCTV surveillance and deployment of female security personnel. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta Wednesday said the decision was taken to empower women and that a proposal will soon be sent to the Lieutenant Governor's office for approval. Earlier this month, the Delhi government had directed the Labour Department to make necessary changes to allow women to work in night shifts — but only with their consent. The move aims to increase women's participation in the workforce while also boosting 'Ease of Doing Business' in the national capital. 'This decision will not only contribute to making Delhi a 24×7 business hub but also significantly enhance women's participation in the workforce and improve the city's 'Ease of Doing Business' rankings,' said the CM. Highlighting the safety framework, the Chief Minister said that stringent measures are being implemented to ensure women's security during night shifts, including compulsory transportation facilities, comprehensive CCTV surveillance, and the deployment of adequate female security personnel. She said that similar permission requirements are already in place in states such as Haryana, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. 'This policy would play a pivotal role in establishing Delhi as a 24×7 business hub and underscores the government's commitment to women's empowerment and economic independence,' she said. To implement this decision, exemptions are being made under the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954. Currently, sections 14, 15, and 16 of the Act prohibit women from working between 9 pm and 7 am during summers and between 8 pm and 8 am during winters. The amendment will remove these restrictions, enabling women to work night shifts across the city, said Gupta. 'Women's welfare is at the top of the government's agenda and multiple initiatives are being undertaken to ensure the economic advancement of working women… To safeguard women working in night shifts, a comprehensive set of conditions will be mandatory for all establishments,' said officials. Officials said that any shop or establishment will take written consent from female employees before assigning them night shifts. Establishments have also been asked to constitute an Internal Complaints Committee under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act. Employers will also have to provide restrooms, toilets, lockers, and other basic amenities. Additional conditions include mandatory electronic payment of wages (bank/ECS), provision of all statutory benefits including ESI, bonus, provident fund, as well as weekly offs and overtime compensation.
