Thiruvananthapuram: In the wake of rising daytime temperatures in the state, the Labor Commissioner has reorganized working hours. The reorganization is to allow workers to rest from 12 noon to 3 pm. Instead, it is proposed to set 8 hours of work between 7 am and 7 pm.
The order is in view of the possibility of workers getting sunstroke due to extreme heat. The restrictions will be in place from February 11 to May 10. Instructions have also been given to strictly implement time management in the construction sector and among road construction workers.
