Vijayawada:The Opposition YSRC opposed the Bill aimed to extend work timings in the shops and establishments to 10 hours from eight hours per day and also to allow women to work in the night shift from 8.30 pm to 6.00 am the next day.
It demanded a review of the Bill and staged a walkout when the state government refused to accept its demand.
Minister for civil supplies Nadendla Manohar intervened and assured to ensure proper safety and security to the women especially working in night shift.
Botsa Satyanarayana asked for reconsideration of the bill before moving the Bill to pass and called it as ‘anti-women Bill’ and staged a walkout from the Council only on the issue.
