The team visited New Convent Institute HS Maitra and Kamal Academy, where officials examined records to verify adherence to the provisions of Payment of Wages Act and Maternity Benefit Act. Both institutions were found maintaining wage registers as per rules and paying salaries to their employees in a timely manner, i.e., before the 10th of every month. Further, no issues related to maternity benefits among female staff were reported.
At the NHAI construction site near Marog, records were scrutinized and found in order. All workers were enrolled under Provident Fund schemes, and no instance of child labour was observed. However, some workers were found without JKBOCWWB registration, for which the company was directed to ensure their enrollment with the Board and for other welfare/pension schemes.
