Harmeet Singh Kingra, president of PAUTA, welcomed the decision of the Himachal Pradesh government to implement the UGC pay scales. “For that matter, Chandigarh administration has decided to break away from the practice of adopting the notification of Punjab. This makes Punjab the only state that has not notified the UGC pay scales,” Kingra said.
