As per Factories Act, no woman should work in night shifts. But, the scenario is changed and accordingly, Govt. has taken to scrap the earlier direction. It will also welcomed by all, who are fighting for equal rights with men. But, what about the security of woman in the nights. Earlier, there were some murder cases and rape cases occured, particularly in the night or eary hours, particularly who are working in Call Centres. Govt. would have think about security issue before scraping the earlier law. Before implementing any direction with respect to law, it should be analysed thoroughly with the concerned parties.

You are right. By lifting the ban, the practice of woment working at night will be encouraged. But this should be avoided. In an attempt to provide equal rights to men and women by lifting the ban, the govt is actually putting women's lives at greater risk.

This is really a good move by KA Govt. Please also implement the same in AndhraPradesh and if possible in Tamilnadu and Noida (New Delhi). The reason is there are a lot of Call centres here. Lets make this possible and save culture of our country.
