Haryana Government Amends Rules to Promote Sanitation Workers to Clerical Posts
The Haryana government has amended service rules to allow sanitation workers and sewermen to be promoted to clerical posts in municipal corporations after five years of regular service. The changes, notified on September 14, include raising the minimum education requirement to Class 12 with Hindi or Sanskrit subjects and removing previous departmental test requirements. Additionally, computer knowledge is no longer mandatory for direct recruitment to 80% of clerk posts. These amendments followed a 37-day strike led by the Nagar Palika Karamchari Sangh and include a 10-day window for objections.
