In Jammu and Kashmir, administrative and legal efforts have focused on enhancing worker protections and workplace standards. The Directorate of Economics and Statistics reconstituted its Internal Complaints Committee to oversee sexual harassment complaints and submit monthly reports.

Furthering labor reforms, Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo reviewed the implementation of four new labor codes intended to consolidate 29 existing laws. These reforms, which include the Code on Wages and the Code on Social Security, aim to provide universal wage protection and establish social security through employer contributions for private sector workers.
