DIRECTS CREATION OF CELL TO DEAL WITH CHANDIGARH-RELATED ISSUES TO PROTECT PUNJAB\u2019S INTEREST<\/p>\n
Chandigarh,<\/p>\n
Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has opposed the reported move of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to merge the DSP cadre of the<\/p>\n
Chandigarh Police with the police officers of all Union Territories, including the Delhi Police.<\/p>\n
He has demanded that status quo be maintained till the territorial dispute of Chandigarh between Punjab and Haryana is settled.<\/p>\n
The Chief Minister has also directed the Chief Secretary to initiate steps for the establishment of a special cell, in the General Administration branch, to deal with<\/p>\n
all Chandigarh-related issues in order to protect the interests of Punjab. He has asked the CS to bring a formal proposal on this in the next cabinet meeting.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued here, the Chief Minister said any move to erode the state\u2019s stake in Chandigarh was not acceptable to Punjab. The existing pattern of all<\/p>\n
Chandigarh UT posts being shared between Punjab and Haryana in 60:40 ratio should continue, he demanded.<\/p>\n
The reported move to merge the Chandigarh DSP post with other UTs would disturb the fine balance achieved over the years, he said, warning that it could be<\/p>\n
counter-productive. Besides, said the Chief Minister, any such move would limit the avenues for the career progression of senior Punjab officers in line for<\/p>\n
promotion.<\/p>\n
The proposal of the MHA would lead to all sanctioned posts of DSP of the Chandigarh UT being merged with the entry grade of the combined cadre of Delhi<\/p>\n
and other UTs, which would allow their transfer\/posting in any UT, the Chief Minister pointed out.<\/p>\n
He expressed concern over the attempts to gradually dilute Punjab\u2019s stake in Chandigarh, pointing to the fact that a similar erosion had already taken place, over<\/p>\n
the years, in the post of Class I Gazetted Officers. Punjab would not allow further erosion of its interests, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
