Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya today said that centre will fast track the process of according skilled worker status to over 50 lakh private security guards in the country. <br/><br/>Speaking at an event organised by the Central Association of Private Security Industry, the minister said that labour Ministry will soon call upon state labour ministers and work out the policy modalities for introducing the new labour laws in states that seek to bring the private security guards under the organised sector. <br/><br/>As of now, a meagre 3 per cent of the total security workforce is covered under this category. Categorising security guards as 'skilled' workers and armed security guards and supervisors as 'highly skilled' workers will entitle them to a minimum monthly wage of Rs 15,000 and Rs 25,000, respectively. <br/><br/><br/>
