Chandigarh, Punjab Congress President Captain Amarinder Singh on Tuesday welcomed the regularization of 27000 government employees by the Punjab government.
“Better late than never,” said Captain Amarinder in a statement issued here, describing the state cabinet decision as long overdue. “I had promised to regularize all contractual employees as soon as I came to power but I am happy to see that they have been given their due just a few days before Diwali.”
Even if it was in view of the upcoming Assembly elections, the Badal government had finally seen sense, said Captain Amarinder. He described the development as a victory for the contractual employees who had for long been agitating for regularization.
