Panel to recommend industrial law reforms, says Kerala industries minister P Rajeeve

The government has appointed a three-member committee to submit recommendations for the reforms of redundant rules and regulations in industrial laws, said state industries minister P Rajeeve.

Addressing mediapersons on the sidelines of an interaction with industrialists, Rajeeve said the committee has been asked to submit its report in three months. National university of advanced legal studies (NUALS) vice-chancellor K C Sunny would chair the committee in which former civil servant T Nandakumar and law reforms commission vice-chairman K Sasidharan Nair would be members.

KSIDC would coordinate the functioning of the committee and the panel would hear industrialists and public before finalizing its report, Rajeeve said. The industries minister is holding a series of interactive sessions with representatives, following allegations by Kitex group against hostility meted out to investors and industrialists in the state.
