Why in news
As a draft Bill cleared by the Karnataka Cabinet mandating reservation for locals garnered adverse reactions from industry heads and trade bodies in the State, the government later announced that it had been “temporarily withheld” and a decision would be taken after a review
The controversial bill
The Karnataka State Employment of Local Candidates in the Industries, Factories and Other Establishments Bill, 2024, was cleared in the Cabinet on July 15.
It mandated that industries, factories, and other establishments appoint local candidates in 50% of management positions and 70% of non-management positions
The provisions were met with stiff opposition from industry heads, while Kannada organisations welcomed the move
