## MINISTER OF STATE (IC) FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SHRI SANTOSH KUMAR GANGWAR)

Out of these, two CGIT-cumLCs,  one  at  Mumbai  and  the  second  at  Kolkata  also  function  as  National Industrial  Tribunals  (NITs).  The  list  of  CGIT-cum-LCs,  State/UT-wise,  is  at Annexure-I.
- (b): The details relating to number  of industrial disputes received, disposed of and pending in these CGITs/NITs during the last three years, i.e. 2015-16, 2016-17 & 2017-18 are enclosed at Annexure-II, III & IV respectively.
- (c): A  Scheme  of  Holding  of  Lok  Adalats  as  an  'Alternative  Grievance Redressal Mechanism' has been introduced from the Tenth Five Year Plan (2002-07) for speedy disposal of industrial disputes in the CGIT-cum-LCs as a remedial measure to tide over the backlog of industrial disputes. In addition, the Presiding Officers of the CGIT-cum-LCs hold camp courts in various parts of the area under their jurisdiction so that workers are not required to travel long distance for disposal of their disputes.
