CHANDIGARH: The Haryana Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, on Wednesday decided to convene a one-day special session of the Vidhan Sabha on April 27, during which the Haryana Clerical Services (Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Bill, 2026, will be introduced.
At the Cabinet meeting in Gurugram, a consensus was also reached on framing the necessary rules for the promotion of Group D employees belonging to the common cadre.
The Group D employees who have completed over five years of service have now become eligible for promotion to the post of clerk, said the Chief Minister after the meeting.
The draft of the Haryana Clerical Services (Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Bill, which was approved, includes a provision to increase the promotion quota from Group D to the post of clerk from 20 per cent to 30 per cent.
Additionally, the requirement to reserve five per cent of posts on an ex gratia basis has also been incorporated into the rules, the Chief Minister told the media.
On the Women’s Reservation Bill that failed to secure a two-thirds majority in the Lok Sabha, CM Saini said events that unfolded in the Parliament on April 16 and 17 had exposed the true face of the Opposition parties before the nation.
