After this, the employees of the Union Territory of Chandigarh will also get all the service benefits which are available to the Central employees.
In fact, the employees of Chandigarh had been demanding the implementation of the Central Civil Services Rules for a long time. Fulfilling this demand, the Modi government has issued a notification. Under this, the employees of the Chandigarh Administration will be brought under the purview of the Central Service Rules from today, April 1.
