On Thursday, over 5,000 workers from various sectors protested outside the Labour Commissioner's office in Bandra-Kurla Complex, Mumbai, Maharashtra. The demonstration, organized by the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), aimed to highlight the urgent need for the implementation of long-pending labour reforms. Workers represented included contractual employees, bank staff, ASHA workers, and street vendors, all voicing their grievances regarding poor working conditions and inadequate compensation. Protesters called for the adoption of the Haryana Model, which promotes direct employment by government institutions instead of outsourcing to private contractors. Labour Minister Akash Fundkar met with BMS leaders, including Maharashtra president Anil Dumne, and announced plans to form a study group to explore the Haryana model. Participants shared personal stories, such as a bank employee demanding a minimum pension of ₹7,500 and ASHA workers seeking better wages. The protest concluded with the submission of memorandums to the labour department, with union leaders warning of a larger mobilization if their demands remain unaddressed.
