Punjab Civil Service officers to go on mass leave from Monday against arrest of colleague

 

Chandigarh :  Punjab Civil Service officers will proceed on mass casual leave for five days starting Monday in protest against the “illegal” arrest of a colleague in Ludhiana by the state vigilance bureau.

A decision in this regard was taken by the Punjab Civil Services Officers’ Association on Sunday.

PCS officer Narinder Singh Dhaliwal, who was posted as Regional Transport Authority (RTA) in Ludhiana, was arrested on Friday by the vigilance bureau for allegedly taking bribes from transporters for sparing them challans for offending vehicles, the bureau had said.
