Shillong: The Meghalaya State Commission for Women takes action this Thursday. Backed by the National Commission for Women, the group hosts a one-day consultation regarding the Maternity Benefit Act of 1961 and the state rules from 1965. Doors open at 10:30 am at the State Convention Centre.
Officials plan to pick apart the current laws. They intend to spot specific hurdles blocking proper execution.
