Site Seeing of Chandigarh the City Beautiful

Site Seeing of Chandigarh the City Beautiful

Leading the post-independence development of the country, Chandigarh represents the first planned city built after the colonial-era ended. With its development overseen by Swiss architect Le Corbusier, the city put its people at the center of its design, with self-contained "sectors," a number of well-maintained gardens, and a utilitarian yet attractive architectural palette. The differences between this city and other large urban areas will be clear throughout your tour of Chandigarh, with many tourists seeking the relative peace and quiet of this center as a break from the lively confusion of modern-day India. Places to visit Chandigarh

MATA MANSA DEVI TEMPLE:  

Mata Mansa Devi Temple at Panchkula is a symbol of Himalayan culture and faith. The shrine located on the foothills of Shivalik is an epitome of age old tradition of ‘Shakti’ worship in Northern India. Himalaya being the abode of Shiva and his consort 'shakti' became centre of Shakti worship. In the vicinity of Panchkula, there are numerous Shakti worshipping centers known by their names such as Chandi, Kalika, Mansa, Bhima, etc. It is about 6 Km from place of your stay.

ROCK GARDEN of Chandigarh:

The Rock Garden of Chandigarh is a sculpture garden in Chandigarh, India. It is also known as Nek Chand's Rock Garden after its founder Nek Chand, a government official who started the garden secretly in his spare time in 1957. Today it is spread over an area of 40 acres (161874.25 m²). It is completely built of industrial and home waste and thrown-away items. It is near Sukhna Lake. It consists of man-made interlinked waterfalls and many other sculptures that have been made of scrap and other kinds of wastes (bottles, glasses, bangles, tiles, ceramic pots, sinks, electrical waste,brokenpipes, etc.) which are placed in walled paths. The garden is visited by over 5,000 people daily, with more than 12 million visitors since its inception. It is about 15 km from your place of stay.

SUKHNA LAKE:

Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh, India, is a reservoir at the foothills (Shivalik hills) of the Himalayas. This 3 km² rainfed lake was created in 1958 by damming the Sukhna Choe, a seasonal stream coming down from the Shivalik Hills. Originally the seasonal flow entered the lake directly causing heavy siltation. To check the inflow of silt, 25.42 km² of land was acquired in the catchment area and put under vegetation. In 1974, the Choe was diverted and made to bypass the lake completely, the lake being fed by three siltation pots, minimising the entry of silt into the lake itself. It is adjacent to Rock Garden and 15 km from your place of stay.

ROSE GARDEN:

Rose garden, located at 16 sector of Chandigarh is a place to relax amid the nature at its best. The garden is packed with some exquisite variety of flowers making it quite popular among tourists and nature enthusiasts. Rock Garden is just 3 Km from here.

FUN CITY, Chandigarh

Located on an expanse of 43 acres, this water amusement park in Ramgarh is the biggest in North India. It boasts of one activity pool, three landing pools and a wave pool, a cluster of water slides of various shapes and sizes, which makes for a delightful ride for the water lovers. Other popular draws are the lazy river ride, splash pool, aqua dance, slides like white multi lane, typhoon tunnel, white slide, red dragon slide, run away raft slide and pendulum slide.

YADAVINDRA GARDENS (PINJORE)

Pinjore is a part of Panchkula district of the state of Haryana. It is located at the confluence of river Jhajjar and Kaushalya (tributaries of Ghaggar) in the lower Shivalik ranges. It is an ancient, religious and historical place and derives its name from Panchpura- the town of Pandavs. Pinjore's foremost attraction is undoubtedly the 50-acre Mughal Gardens, renamed the Yadavindra Gardens after Maharaja Yadavindra Singh, the last ruler of Patiala. It is at a distance of 17 Km from the place of stay on Chandigarh- Shimla highway.

SHIMLA

Shimla is a famous hill station in the state of Himachal Pradesh. It serves as a summer getaway for people from all across India. Of the various attractions in Shimla, the most sought after and mesmerizing is the Kalka Shimla toy train.

Started in 1903, the toy train route has now been listed as a UNESCO site. You can go to Shimla which is one side 65 Km from your place of stay and 3hrs run by Bus.

GRAND OF NFGP AT LEVEL 10

There is only one comment on below posting which is about Grand of GP of Rs.5400/- on completion of 4 years in GP of Rs. 4800/- earned under MACP by ASPOs prior to 1-1-2012 but promoted or joined in Group B after 1-1-2006 and prior to 1-1-2016. Our demand is that all such Group B officers should be granted non functional Grade Pay of 5400/- from the date they have completed 4 years regular service in Grade Pay of 4800/- as also allowed to similar placed officer of CBDT/CBEC and other department on the basis of Hon’ble CAT judgement. Whereas no benefit of higher responsibility whatsoever was given on joining the Group B on regular basis. However NFGP of 5400/- was granted only after four years of Group B service and now this benefit is also not being given. This is the case for officers who completed four years service prior to 1-1-2016 only. Please do not link it with NFGP after 1-1-2016.

The tweet of my learned friend is that we can demand NFGP to GP of Rs. 5400 in PB-3 (level 10) after completion of 4 yrs regular service in SPO cadre. Yes why not and this is our demand too. Actually prior to implementation of 7^th CPC Group B officers were given GP Rs 5400/- after completion of 4 years of service in PS Group B. Consequently many our members were getting pay fixture under 2^nd and 3^rd MACP to that level on personal basis without actual promotion. There was only charm of getting fixture after four years of service on joining Group ‘B’ under non functional GP of 5400/- but unfortunately this fixture has also been withdrawn by the department while placing Group ‘B’ officer at next level on completion of 4 years of service in Group B on implementation of 7^th pay commission. Consequent upon implementation of 7^th pay commission simple replacement at level 9 has been given that without benefit of fixture as provided in illustration. Now Ministry of Finance vide F No. 26017/219/2016- Ad.II.A dated 10-4-2017 copy of which is pasted below had clarified to the revenue department that under 7^th CPC recommendation only normal replacement pay level for Superintendents has been allowed so NFGP introduced on the basis of 6^th CPC recommendation will continue under 7^th CPC regime by replacing the pay structure of pay band and Grade Pay with the corresponding Pay Levels/ Cells in Pay Matrix. All other department has implemented these orders by fixing the pay on promotion as given in Rule 13 of CCS Revised Pay Rules 2016. Our department is silent on this texture. As such Ministry of Finance vide F No. 26017/219/2016- Ad.II.A dated 10-4-2017 should be circulated to all circles with instructions to fix pay of all PS Group B officers on completion of four years of service in Group ‘B’ with corresponding pay levels/cells in Pay Matrix i.e from level 9 to 10. In case these orders are not implemented by our department then we will take legal remedy and it will be our second CAT case to file.

Benefit of GP of Rs.5400/- on completion of four years in GP of 4800/-

Please go through these Ministry of Defence letter no. L-373/US(MM) D(N-11)/17 dated 8-2-18 and Ministry of Information and Broadcasting vide letter no F. No.515/63/2016-BA(E) vide which benefit of Grade pay of Rs. 5400/- in PB-II on non functional basis after completing 4 years of regular service in the grade pay of Rs.4800/- in PB-II has been extended to all similar placed officers in their department after having approval of Department of Expenditure, MOF as conveyed vide UO NO. 22(4)/E.III.B dated 10.11.2017. Our department is not extending the benefit to similar placed officers. We have decided to take legal remedy for our officers. Please comment what should our course of action in this regard as It will require funds to file case.
