Ludhiana, July 29, 2015: Sh.Avtar Singh, President, Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertakings (CICU), in a statement released today condemned and called for immediate withdrawal of Notification for Payment of Wages to Factory Workers by Cheque or Credit in their Bank Account. In a statement here today he added industry in Punjab is already making accurate and timely wages to factory workers in 3-4 installments in a month. In addition to this payment of petty expenses is also being made to workers as per their genuine requirements during the month. This anti industry move will further impact the already reeling industrial sector, which is currently battling sluggish markets and squeezed margins.
Sh. Upkar Singh Ahuja General Secretary said that industrial sector in Punjab is mainly based on migrated labor from U.P. & Bihar, which are not having their accounts in banks. Therefore they will not cooperate with the industrialists for acceptance of wages through cheques or credit in their account. This uncalled for move will accelerate shifting of migrated labour to their states thereby causing unrest and shortage in Punjab.  
Both of them have strongly appealed and urged upon Sh. Sukhbir Singh Badal, Deputy Chief Minister Punjab, Sh. Chunni Lal Bhagat, Labour Minster Punjab and Sh. Madan Mohan Mittal, Industry & Commerce Minister Punjab to withdraw this anti industry notification as State industrial sector is already reeling under adverse economic scenario.
