The Central Secretariat Service (CSS) officers have issued a plea to the government, urging swift action to implement the recommendations of the cadre restructuring committee without further delay.

As per CSS officers, the delay in implementing the committee's recommendations, which were due since 2022, has severely affected operations, leading to stagnation in promotions. They urge necessary measures be taken by June 30, 2025, to support the vision of 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047.
