NOKKU KOOLI

Oct. 17, 2021

The Kerala High Court lashed out again at the practice of demanding nokku kooli by headload workers in the State.

About:

Nokku kooli refers to extortion by organized labour unions in Kerala under which wages are paid to trade union activists for allowing common householders/ investors/builders to unload belongings/materials using machines or their own labour.
In Malayalam, 'nokku kooli', translates into 'gawking wages' or 'wages for (just) looking on'.
The practice still persists in the state despite a ban and repeated directives by the High Court. On May 1, 2018, the Kerala government banned the practice.
