Chandigarh, September 8: A former member of Parliament and a member of the National Executive of the BJP, Mr Satya Pal Jain, today urged the Centre to restore the service conditions of UT employees as applicable on November 1, 1966 — when the Union Territory of Chandigarh was created.
In a letter to the Union Home Minister, Mr L.K. Advani, and the Union Minister of State for Personnel Department, Mr Haren Pathak, Mr Jain said the demand of the employees be accepted at the earliest.
He said when the union territory was created, the Centre had framed "the condition of service of Union Territory of Chandigarh Employees Rules, 1966," which provided that the pay and allowances to the UT employees would be applicable as per the employees of State of Punjab.
With the framing of an-other rule called the "condition of services of Union Territory of Chandigarh Rules, 1972", a strange situation had arisen, creating confusion. Mr Jain said on demand of the UT employees in 1997, the Chandigarh Administration had recommended to the Centre that the situation prevalent in 1966 was much better. He cited letters written by various officers of the administration to the Central Government on the issue.
