Chandigarh: In a bid to ensure uninterrupted essential services, the Chandigarh Administration has written to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) to inquire if any of its services should be classified as ‘essential’ under the newly adopted Haryana Essential Services (Maintenance) Act (ESMA), 1974.
This move comes in response to the UT administration's decision earlier this month to adopt the stricter Haryana ESMA, replacing the outdated East Punjab Essential Services (Maintenance) Act, of 1947. PGIMER recently witnessed strikes by healthcare professionals and other staff members.
