Bengaluru, June 23, 2025 (ANI): On a proposal to increase work hours in Karnataka from nine to 10 hours daily, Karnataka Minister Santosh Lad said that he will consult the stakeholders and unions to take their opinion as this is a proposal from Central Government. "To me, right now it doesn't look good, as people are already working for nine hours. The new proposal suggests increasing work hours from nine to 10 hours daily, with a cap of 48 hours in a week. I will call every stakeholder, unions and talk to them and take their opinions as the proposal has come from central govt. Prima facie, I am not for it," said Santosh Lad.
