<h1>Union Cabinet Approves Amendments to Enhance Construction Workers' Welfare and Streamline State Welfare Boards' Management.</h1> The Union Cabinet approved amendments to the Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996, and the Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Cess Act, 1996. The amendments aim to streamline worker registration, remove age and employment duration restrictions, and enhance financial management for State Welfare Boards. The Central Government will have increased authority to regulate construction costs, administrative expenses, and appoint Director Generals for inspections. State Governments can now file complaints for legal breaches, and a 30-day deadline is set for cess deposits to State Welfare Boards. A temporary committee will manage welfare functions until official boards are established.
