follow there own industry rules. Like the industry bears all the cast of delivery but it’s not
included the labor acts. They are painted the industry at least after 4 or 5 years. But labor
acts says that where they are painted or varnished, be repainted or re-varnished at least
 ones in every 3 years. In any other case, be keep white-washed or color washed & the
white washing & the color washing shall be carried out at least color washing shall be
carried out at least once in every fourteenth month but the industry does not follow the
rules.
