In a reply to MP Pawan Kumar Bansal's query about setting up of a new market, in Parliament on Wednesday, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) replied that the Chandigarh Administration will soon set up a new foodgrains, fruit and vegetable market in the west of Sector 39. The administration has allotted 75 acres of land in the sector to the State Agricultural Marketing Board for the purpose.
The MHA reply said that of the land allotted to the marketing board, the possession of 21.56 acres was taken by the board in 1998. Facilities like construction of roads, providing storm-water drainage, electricity services as well as water supply system have already been provided here. The possession of 52.21 acres of land was taken over in May this year.
On Tuesday, the MHA had replied to Bansal's about service conditions of UT employees. It was stated that conditions of service of persons appointed to the posts in Group A, B, C and D under Chandigarh would be the same as the conditions of service of persons appointed to the corresponding posts of Punjab Civil Service.
MHA has further stated that the scale of the UT employees be revised from time to time so as to bring them at par with the scales of the corresponding categories of employees of the Punjab government. Probation, seniority, leave, pension, retirement, medical facilities, etc for the UT employees is similar to that of the Punjab government employees. However, the entry into government service does not fall within the ambit of conditions of service. The administration follows the Central pattern in the matter of upper age limit for entry into government services.
