Delhi High Court cancels the increase in the minimum wage, done by the Delhi Government.

The Delhi High Court has set aside the increase in minimum wage, from Rs.9,500/- per month to Rs.13,500/- per month, done by the Delhi State Government. There are large number of industries in and around Delhi, employing tens of thousands of workers. Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi, has expressed his serious concern that, the decision of the Delhi High Court to nullify the wage increase done by the Delhi State Government, will seriously affect the interests of the workers.
