Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, April 22, 2026: The Haryana Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, has decided to convene a special session of the State Legislative Assembly on April 27, 2026, to introduce a key bill aimed at promoting Group-D employees.
The decision was taken at a Cabinet meeting held in Gurugram on Wednesday. The session will focus on tabling the Haryana Clerical Services (Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Bill, 2026, which seeks to create a clear promotion pathway for lower-rung employees.
As per the proposal, Group-D employees who have completed more than five years of service will become eligible for promotion to clerical posts. The bill also proposes increasing the promotion quota from 20 percent to 30 percent, along with a provision to reserve 5 percent posts under the ex-gratia category.
Officials said the move is aimed at improving career growth opportunities and strengthening the administrative structure by enabling internal promotions.
Speaking to the media, the Chief Minister also made political remarks, criticising opposition parties over their stance on women-related issues in Parliament. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for prioritising women empowerment through various initiatives, including the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign.
The upcoming Assembly session is expected to focus primarily on the proposed bill, which could benefit a large number of government employees if passed.
