Bare Act

The Factories (Extension to Kohima, Mokokchung, Wokha, Zunheboto & Phek District

This 1980 Act extends India's national Factories Act of 1948 to the Nagaland districts of Kohima, Mokokchung, Zunheboto, Wokha, and Phek. It regulates working conditions, health, safety, and welfare of factory workers. The legislation applies directly to factory owners, managers, and laborers operating within these five districts. This matters because it ensures that industrial workers in these regions are legally protected under standard national labor laws. By enforcing safety protocols, regulating working hours, and providing basic amenities, the Act improves worker welfare and prevents exploitation, aligning local industrial practices with national standards once the state government officially implements it.
