In a major boost to local trade, shops in Tamil Nadu can now stay open for 24 hours, seven days a week
A new State Govt Order permits shops and establishments to remain open round-the-clock for a period of 3 years
The order has come across as a boon to shopkeepers and traders associations which have been demanding a 24-hour operation permit from the state
Currently, only a handful establishments such as IT companies, hospitals, pharmacies and factories are allowed to operated 24*7
However, the order comes with certain clauses such as increasing protection for women workers, one weekly holiday for every employee, and the provision of restroom, washroom, safety lockers, and other basic amenities
The order could also be modified during the period of 3 years.
