Despite the government's approval on January 16, 2025, the Pay Commission has not been formally constituted. The ToR and the appointment of the chairman and other important members have also not yet been completed.

The 7th CPC was announced in September 2013 and its chairman and ToR were notified in February 2014. However, since the announcement of the 8th Pay Commission on January 16, 2025, the ToR of the Commission are still pending. The government has also not officially announced the appointment of the chairman and other members of the commission.

UP Holds High-Level Review Meeting on Backwards Class Welfare
Lucknow: A high-level state meeting was convened on Wednesday under the chairmanship of Hansraj Gangaram Ahir, Chairman of the National Commission for Backwards Classes (NCBC). The session aimed to evaluate existing welfare schemes for backwards classes and shape strategic future directions in coordination with the Uttar Pradesh government. The meeting was attended by NCBC Member Bhuvan Bhushan Kamal and Secretary Meeta Rajeev Lochan. Representing the state government, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Backwards Class Welfare and Empowerment of Disabled People, Narendra Kashyap, joined alongside Chairman of Uttar Pradesh Backwards Class Commission Rajesh Verma, Principal Secretary Subhash Chandra Sharma, Director Vandana Verma, and other departmental officers. Opening the meeting, officials presented a brief history and functional overview of the Uttar Pradesh Backwards Class Commission, outlining its constitutional responsibilities and current initiatives. The Commission emphasised its dual mandate: grievance redressal and delivery of social justice through research and policy advice. A technical assessment of its organisational structure—including staffing levels, approved posts, and administrative workload—was shared, along with a review of financial provisions and the budgetary needs for future expansion. Among the key points discussed was the Commission's ongoing effort to identify backwards castes, update caste schedules, and conduct region-wise socio-economic assessments. Officials highlighted that several castes, sub-castes, and surnames listed by the Uttar Pradesh Commission have not yet been included in the Government of India's Central List. Recommendations for their inclusion are underway, pending inputs from the state administration. Minister Kashyap reaffirmed the government's dedication to empowering the backwards class community. Continuous efforts are being made to bring equity and development to all marginalised sections. We urge the Commission to expedite its recommendations regarding deprived castes,' he stated. Chairman Rajesh Verma also spotlighted the Commission's work through extensive public hearings, surveys, and outreach initiatives across the state. He called for closer synergy between state and central authorities to streamline implementation. Concluding the session, Chairman Ahir commended Uttar Pradesh's proactive measures, noting that its approach could serve as a template for other states. 'We are fully prepared to cooperate with the Uttar Pradesh government. All collected data will be compiled and submitted to the Centre, ensuring timely policy action,' he affirmed. The meeting marked a significant step in strengthening institutional coordination and shaping inclusive strategies for the upliftment of backwards classes in the region.

Haryana Human Rights Commission seeks report on Hisar wall collapse that left 4 children dead
Chandigarh, The Haryana Human Rights Commission has taken cognisance of the death of four children in a wall collapse incident in Hisar last year and directed the concerned authorities to submit detailed reports before the next hearing scheduled for October. Haryana Human Rights Commission seeks report on Hisar wall collapse that left 4 children dead The incident took place on December 22, 2024, at a brick kiln in Budana village. Three children were injured in the wall collapse. The matter was brought to the commission's attention through a complaint filed by a human rights activist. The deceased minors' parents were migrant labourers from Uttar Pradesh working at the brick kiln, observed the bench of the commission comprising chairperson Justice Lalit Batra and Members Kuldip Jain and Deep Bhatia. Many families of labourers from Uttar Pradesh worked at the kiln in Budana. The children and some labourers were sleeping near one of the walls of the brick kiln when it collapsed on them. The commission remarked that the workers and their families were living in extremely inhumane and unsafe conditions. According to the commission, this was a preventable tragedy that occurred due to a lack of legal enforcement and failure to provide basic human necessities, Dr Puneet Arora, Information and Public Relations Officer of the Commission, said. On preliminary examination, the commission termed the incident a gross violation of human rights and a clear case of administrative failure. It also observed that the circumstances reflected indicators of bonded labour, which is prohibited under the Bonded Labour System Act, 1976. The commission, under the leadership of Justice Batra, stated that the brick kiln owner had both a moral and statutory duty to provide secure housing, clean drinking water, sanitation facilities, and workplace safety to labourers and their families. The commission found this to be a violation of Article 21 of the Constitution of India and of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. In its order dated July 24, the commission has directed the authorities concerned to submit detailed reports within eight weeks. The deputy commissioner of the district will be confirming whether any compensation has been granted to the affected families, while the assistant labour commissioner will investigate the existence of bonded labour at the site and initiate appropriate remedial action, the commission noted. Explanation from the owner of the brick kiln is required regarding the lack of safety and residential arrangements for labourers at the site, the commission said. The next hearing in the matter has been scheduled for October 14, by which date all concerned officials are required to submit their respective reports before the commission, it said.
