Skilled workers, including masons, electricians, plumbers, welders, and others, will receive Rs. 2,000 per day.
Meanwhile, gardeners, chainmen, and other semi-skilled workers will be paid Rs. 1,560 per day.
The government has also set the minimum wage for workers employed on a monthly basis at Rs. 40,000.
