Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

1. The Committee notes that the Government has submitted a very brief report in reply to the previous direct request, and that in several respects has indicated that gathering the information requested would take some time and that the information would be submitted when available. The Committee recalls that at its previous session it requested a detailed report for the present session, and hopes the Government will provide such a report for its next session. It is therefore repeating the previous direct request.

2. In addition, the Government has provided no comments on the observations communicated by the Chemical Mazdoor Sabha, a workers’ organization, on the situation of tribal people in Narmada Valley, which was sent to the Government on 11 June 2003. The Committee requests the Government to make any comments it may have on this communication, in time for the next session.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2004.]
