Chandigarh Tribune
Chandigarh, April 21: Former MP Satya Pal Jain and member of the National Executive of the BJP met Deputy Prime Minister and Union Minister of Home Affairs L.K. Advani at his residence in New Delhi, last evening, and urged him to expedite the process of amendment of Punjab Municipal Act - 1976, as applicable to UT Chandigarh. He also submitted a memorandum signed by various leaders of the coordination committee of UT and MC employees unions to Mr. Advani in support of the demand for amendment in the Act.
Mr Jain claimed that amendment in the Act would help at least 5,000 employees, who were transferred from the UT Administration to the MC, treated on deputation.
He reminded Mr Advani of his written assurance given on the floor of the House in the Lok Sabha in December, 1998, that "those employees of the Chandigarh Administration who had been transferred to MC shall be deemed to be on 'deemed deputation' with the MC". ...
... He urged Mr Advani to personally intervene in the matter so that this proposal should be brought before the floor of the House for suitable amendment to save the future of thousands of employees. Mr Jain claimed that the Deputy PM had assured him of justice to the employees.
