Following submissions by various labour and trade union bodies, the state cabinet decided to enhance the wages of unskilled labour from Rs 70 to Rs 100, the wages of semi-skilled labour from Rs 75 to Rs 120 and that of skilled labour from Rs 85 to Rs 140, an official spokesman said.
The revised wages will come into effect from the date of notification.
In a bid to attract private investment in the state, the cabinet also gave nod for amendment to the 'Meghalaya Cinema Regulations Rules' for opening multiplexes in the state, particularly in state capital Shillong.
"We would like to have multiplexes with facilities like shopping centre, theatre, restaurants," Art and Culture Minister BM Lanong said.
