Judicious approach needed to address unorganised manpower

Chief Justice of Jammu and Kashmir High Court Justice Badar Durrez Ahmed today advocated for "judicious and judicial" approach for addressing the issues of unorganised labourers.
Justice Ahmed also emphasised on bringing about an attitudinal change in the society towards this most essential component of the modern economic system.
The chief justice was addressing the assistant labour commissioners, labour officers and labour inspectors of Jammu division, after inaugurating the second phase of the five-day training programme on labour laws and first-hand knowledge about court proceeding, quasi-judicial proceeding and conduct of the officer in discharge of their judicial or quasi- judicial functions.

The Chief justice exhorted upon the trainees to adopt "judicious and judicial approach towards their working."
"The dignity and modesty associated with labour community has to be inculcated in our thinking and value system asserted," he said while advocating the implementation of labour laws.
Terming labour as primary and capital and entrepreneur as secondary factors in a nation's economy, the chief justice said, "We need to introspect and ponder upon the fact that human survival is possible only because of hard labour put into by these workers."
"Let's bring up a generation where a man doing hard physical work is equally respected as a man, solving a differential equation. A Labourer must get as much as he is putting into his work," he said.
