Andhra increases maximum working hours from 9 to 10 to attract investments
The TDP-led NDA government in Andhra Pradesh has decided to raise the maximum working hours from nine to 10 per day as part of ease of doing business and attracting investors. The Information and Public Relations (I&PR) Minister K Parthasarathy said that it has been decided to amend labour laws to make them 'favourable' to workers and investors. CPI state secretary K Ramakrishna criticised the move and said NDA governments at the Centre and state are pursuing 'anti worker' policies. "Section 54 which allows maximum nine hours of work a day has now been raised to 10 hours per day. Under Section 55 there used to be one hour rest for five hours (work) now that has been changed to six hours," said Parthasarathy recently, elaborating on the decisions made by the cabinet to amend labour laws. Earlier, Parthasarathy noted that overtime was allowed only up to 75 hours which now has been extended up to 144 hours per quarter. "Because of this (amendments to labour laws), investors in factories will (come to our state). These labour rules will be favourable for labourers and they will come to invest more. Globalisation is happening in every state. These amendments were brought to implement global rules," said Parthasarathy. Further, the minister observed that the cabinet has also relaxed night shift rules to enable more women to work in the night shifts. According to the I&PR Minister, women were not allowed to work in the night shifts earlier but now they can work with safeguards such as consent, transport facility, security and surveillance. He said the workplace of women during night shifts should be fully illuminated. "When you work extra, income will increase. By these rules women can work in the formal sector. They empower women economically and promote gender inclusion and industrial growth. Also contribute to women's empowerment," he said. Meanwhile, K Ramakrishna, State Secretary of CPI, opposed the NDA alliance government's stand on labour laws amendments. He alleged that the Central and state governments are working against the interests of workers. "For the past 11 years, the Modi government has repeatedly taken measures that infringe upon workers' rights in India," Ramakrishan told PTI on Saturday. To oppose these rules, he said trade unions have decided to protest on July 9 all over India, adding that all sections will participate in this protest actively. Further, he observed that the NDA governments both at the Centre and in the state are pursuing 'anti-worker policies'.

Delhi's 3rd Ring Road to open by August
The six-lane Urban Extension Road-2 (UER-2), planned as Delhi's third Ring Road, is set to open by August, effectively cutting travel time from Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport to parts of south-west and north-west Delhi — and the Haryana border — by 40–60%, officials aware of the project have said. Over 95% of the construction is complete, with sections passing through Najafgarh, Mundka and Alipur already operational. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), which is implementing the project, presented its progress status during a recent meeting between Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari and Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta and her cabinet colleagues. According to officials, Delhi-NCR is currently seeing road infrastructure projects worth ₹34,589 crore underway across 594km, while another ₹23,850 crore has been earmarked for 128km of roadworks that are about to begin. Originally conceived under the Delhi Master Plan Road 2021, UER-2 was later notified as a national highway to be readied in five construction packages. Spanning 76km — of which 54.21km lies in Delhi and 21.5km in Haryana — the ₹8,000 crore corridor is being funded by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for its Delhi section and built by NHAI. 'The UER-2 will offer faster connectivity between Chandigarh, Gurugram and IGI Airport. It has also opened up access to previously underserved parts of Delhi such as Najafgarh, Mundka, Karala, Alipur, and Bawana, enhancing links to south Delhi, Noida, Faridabad, and major highways like NH-48,' a report from the Union road ministry, shared with the Delhi government, noted. During the Lok Sabha campaign in January, Gadkari had highlighted the reuse of two million tonnes of legacy waste from Ghazipur landfill in UER-2's construction — a move that reduced the height of the landfill's trash mountain by seven metres. In a related development, the underpass stretch of the Dwarka Expressway near IGI Airport — which connects with UER-2 — is nearing completion and expected to open in the next 15 days. The expressway will serve as a bypass to NH-48 and improve access between the airport, UER-2, Dwarka and Gurugram. It will also offer a direct link to Yashobhoomi in Sector 25, Dwarka. 'The Dwarka Expressway has significantly eased travel from parts of Delhi such as Mahipalpur, Dwarka, Vasant Kunj and Najafgarh to Gurugram and IGI Airport. The Haryana section was opened in March 2024, while the Delhi stretch, which includes a tunnel and underpasses, is likely to be operational by mid-June,' an official said. The 28-km-long Dwarka Expressway, built at a cost of ₹8,611 crore, is now 98% complete. Officials added that NHAI is increasingly using inert material recovered from legacy waste through biomining for road construction — including projects like the DND–Faridabad–Ballabhgarh–Sohna bypass and UER-II. The use of silt, stones, and construction debris is aimed at cutting landfill volume, conserving natural resources, lowering construction costs and reducing emissions.
