CHENNAI The Constitutional Conduct Group (CCG), a collective of former civil servants belonging to the All-India Services and Central Services, has urged Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay to restore the original mandate of the High-Level Committee (HLC) on Union-State Relations to enable it to complete its task of bringing out Part II of its report.
“We trust that your government will affirm its commitment to a strong federal democracy, with devolution of powers to local government institutions. Restoring the original mandate of the High-Level Committee on Union-State Relations will be a welcome step in this direction,” the group said in an open letter signed by 72 former civil servants.
The former officials said they found the State government’s decision to discontinue the HLC, chaired by former Supreme Court judge Justice Kurian Joseph, incomprehensible.
