In a few months, restaurants, multiplexes and malls will be permitted to remain open through the night or even 24X7. This means establishments can stay open late, especially on weekends, when more people flock to them. Employees working in shops, malls, theatres and hotels can take leave up to 45 days at a stretch. The bill is in accordance with the Model Shop Act proposed by the Centre to facilitate the ease of doing business. We have made provisions for CCTV cameras to be installed and for women working night shifts to get dropped to their homes.
