The Jharkhand government is readying to draft a policy to ensure that those working as food delivery boys or doing other similar work get the minimum wages.

• The state’s labour department has constituted a committee for this.
• Jharkhand is the first state which has taken steps towards bringing people working on contract or commission for companies like Swiggy-Zomato-Ola-Uber-Rapido under the ambit of minimum wages. No other state government has taken such an initiative till now.
• Labour Commissioner Sanjiv Kumar Besra, Minimum Wage Board Director Rajesh Prasad, Federation of Jharkhand Chamber of Commerce & Industries President Kishor Mantri, Jharkhand INTUC President Rakeshwar Pandey and representatives of CITU, BMS and AITUC trade unions have been included in the committee formed by the Jharkhand State Minimum Wage Advisory Council under the state's labour department.
