According to BDA experts, it is the duty of the state to ensure that employment is provided as promised by the entrepreneurs allotted industrial sites. Rehabilitation of the displaced people or for those who have lost their land following procurement by KIADB, is also a part of the responsibility of the state.

To curb the rising labour law violations in the state, in regard to Namma Metro project work, the Karnataka High Court issued a four week notice to the state government. The notice was issued to place on record the steps High Court wishes to take in respect to the instances where companies do not implement the industrial projects and KIADB does not succeed to supervise them.

I completed agree with Sreya..... Even BMRC, which is responsible for the safety of the workers it employs, lacks improved facilities at work. To add to it, a number of contractors without a license or permit, are reported to be employed by BMRC. In this regard, the High Court has launched prosecution for any such violation of rules

Bangalore metro works may again be in the limelight, since the Karnataka High Court is likely to issue orders to BMRC to stop the construction work in the city. The sole reason for such a downside is the violation of the labour laws by BMRC in regard to the metro work.

On observing that breaching of the labour laws is equivalent to a violation of human rights, the High Court tipped off the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation that it will put the Namma project work to a halt if the contractors do not go along with the labour laws. As an attempt to curb such violation, the government has asked the authority to put up with a list of all the sub-contractors and contractors involved in the project along with the total number of workers.
