He further said that all the state-based organizations, societies, trusts, limited liability partnership firms and joint ventures or companies hiring ten or more than ten people can hire only 10% of the approved quota from a particular district.

The approval comes after rising unemployment in Haryana and the law will ensure stay of locals migrating to different cities surviving on low paid jobs. According to the government, the law will restrict slum proliferation in Haryana.

Haryana governor Satyadeo Narain Arya said that the law will benefit the locals to boost their self-reliance in the state.

The bill was passed last year and was also one of the promised laws that will come into action by the ruling BJP alliance Jannayak Janta Party.
