distribution system in all the Union Territories. Accordingly, Chandigarh

Mil be at stake and the power tariff will Increase manifolds.
Accordingly, Chandigarh
Administration through this press note is assuring the employees that their
services and related benefits will be safeguarded and their employment terms
will be similar or they will be better than the present service terms. No
retrenchment of employees will happen and no employee will be transferred
outside the geographical area served by the Electricity Wing of the Engineenng
