Hooda Challenges Haryana Government on Contractual Employee Regularisation and Civic Issues
Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has accused the BJP-led state government of misleading sanitation workers and contractual employees regarding job regularisation. Hooda cited policies from the 2014 Congress government that provided for regularisation after three years of service and referenced a Himachal Pradesh policy with a two-year provision. Sanitation workers have been protesting since August for regular jobs. Hooda urged the government to address these demands and criticized its handling of civic issues and job security concerns.
