Tensions Surge: Chandigarh Cancels Leaves Amid Indo-Pak Conflict

The Chandigarh Administration has called off leaves for its employees amidst rising tensions between India and Pakistan, demanding that they remain at their headquarters. This directive underscores the severity of the current geopolitical climate, following recent military escalations.

On Friday, an official statement emphasized the need for all departmental, board, and corporation employees to stay within Chandigarh's jurisdiction unless exceptional circumstances warrant fresh leave approval from the concerned Secretary.

Similarly, Haryana's government has issued directives preventing state employees, including those from universities and corporations, from leaving their stations, with specific emphasis on the health department, as cross-border hostilities intensify.
