Punjab and Haryana employees oppose Chandigarh's deputation plans

The Punjab and Haryana Employees Union and Joint Teachers Association oppose the Chandigarh administration's plan to implement a tenure for deputationists from their states. They argue that existing rules exempt these employees from such limits. Union leaders claim that a 1982 letter from the Ministry of Home Affairs supports their position, stating that Punjab and Haryana employees do not receive deputation allowances. They assert that this makes their situation different from typical deputation cases. The unions warn of strong protests if the issue is not resolved within a week. They accuse the Chandigarh administration of misrepresenting central government guidelines regarding deputation policies.
