PCCTU seeks Admn intervention
Chandigarh, July 23 Dr Jagwant Singh, General Secretary, PCCTU, cautioned the UT Administration that if an early solution is not found then protest would spread to other non-Government Colleges of Chandigarh and Punjab. He said the Chandigarh District Council of PCCTU under the leadership of its president Mr Sudish Sharma and secretary Dr Anil Parti would soon work out a course of action, if the victimisation of Ms Gurpreet Kaur was not ended. Dr Jagwant Singh said the UT Administration should withdraw its letter (dated November 11, 2003) as the same had been issued under erroneous understanding about the date of applicability of the new eligibility conditions of UGC. He said she had been selected on the basis of the eligibility conditions in force at the time the post was advertised. Any instructions issued after that can not be implemented retrospectively. He said the representatives of UT Administration and PU had satisfied themselves about her eligibility as per rules applicable at the time of her selection and had certified it.
