New Delhi: People from all over the country cheered on Saturday as the Union government rolled out four Labour Codes, viewing the move as a major step toward bringing jobs into the formal sector, expanding social safety nets, and standardizing workforce rules.
Different groups shared what they liked about the new laws. Some praised the solid social security guarantees, others appreciated the health perks and the norms that favor women.
"These labour laws are truly beneficial. Earlier, many workers never received appointment letters, and companies could hire or fire them at will. Now, workers are getting their rights and documents from the very first day. This is the best part," a Surat resident in Gujarat told LatestNewsX.
The Surat native welcomed the fresh health benefits for employees over 40, noting that older workers often juggle many obligations that make it hard to address medical needs.
Another citizen from Surat said the reforms would empower young talent, especially the new‑generation workforce.
“I applaud the four new labour codes announced by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government. Under these laws, young people entering the workforce will receive immediate appointment letters, giving them access to all company benefits," the resident noted, adding that these reforms are also a positive step for women, as they will help reduce gender inequalities.
In Chhattisgarh, residents expressed gratitude, saying the codes would be a lifeline for informal‑sector workers and gig economy participants.
"Certainly, new labour laws are in favour of workers. Key benefits that were earlier available only to government employees will now be extended to ordinary workers as well," said a resident of Surajpur, Chhattisgarh.
Another local praised the Prime Minister’s vision for daily wage earners, saying the laws would secure better job safety and healthcare.
Residents in Chandigarh lauded the government for cutting the gratuity waiting period to one year.
"It’s good that gratuity, which earlier required five years of service, will now be payable after just one year. Workers will also get health check‑up benefits, allowing them to get timely examinations," a Chandigarh resident told LatestNewsX.
