Maha govt wants locals; industry perturbed
The Maharashtra government wants industry to hire locals in 80 per cent jobs. It's an old rule, which is now to be enforced by state committees. But there's an irony - industries in the state already hire more locals than the state's diktat. The state's own data shows that small scale industries hire as much as 96 per cent locals while larger units have about 88 per cent locals in their ranks.
