UT declares all PGI employment as essential
Chandigarh: UT chief secretary on Monday declared all employment at the PGI an "essential service," extending the Haryana Essential Services Act, 1974, to Chandigarh. The move prohibits any strikes by PGI staff. This is the first time the Act was invoked without an official strike notice from any union. The notification follows a 2024 public interest litigation (PIL) filed by PGI, which led to a Punjab and Haryana high court ruling on August 7 this year. The court noted that PGI services weren't previously declared essential under the East Punjab Essential Services Maintenance Act, 1947, yet it pre-emptively barred unions from future strikes or protests. The decision comes amidst an ongoing legal dispute with the PGI union president, Ashwani Munjal, who was banned from campus. The high court, while addressing Munjal's challenge, has permitted union activities only within their designated office space and explicitly forbidden any actions that would obstruct patient care or movement within the institute. According to Munjal, the recent court ruling and subsequent notification vindicate the union's decades-long position that ESMA was not previously applicable to PGI. However, he acknowledged the court's strict stance on protests, stating that any future demonstrations would be restricted to the institute's residential areas to prevent disruption of patient services. "The three decades old stand of union(s) that there is no notification imposing ESMA at PGI has been vindicated whereas PGI filed more than 6-8 CWP-PIL during 2018 to 2024 seeking orders to take action against leaders/staff under Section 6 & 7 ESMA, 1947/1968," said Munjal. He added, "The competent authority for PGI is the centre and not Chandigarh for invoking ESMA." Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Flipkart Minutes adds gourmet range to attract buyers seeking premium products
Walmart-backed ecommerce platform Flipkart's quick commerce arm, Minutes, has expanded its offerings to include gourmet products in its product selection. 'With the launch of gourmet, we are not just expanding our assortment but also redefining what convenience means for India's growing modern consumers,' said Kabeer Biswas, vice president at Flipkart Minutes. 'Whether it's crafting an authentic Asian meal, baking at home, or simply discovering new tastes, our curated selection ensures they get quality products from their favourite brands, delivered in minutes at their doorstep.' Under the gourmet section, Flipkart Minutes has 650 products from 130 brands—international brands including Samyang, Nongshim, Barilla, and Abbie's, as well as Indian brands such as Habanero and WickedGud. Currently, Flipkart Minutes' gourmet offerings are live in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, with plans to expand to more cities. Interestingly, consumers in tier-2 markets are also showing a liking for these gourmet products. 'Tier 2 audiences are getting more conscious about trying global ingredients and new flavours, and are being open to non-traditional palettes. Quick commerce is leading at the moment,' said Griffith David, founder of Habanero. Need for premiumisation This development also comes at a time when the quick commerce segment is seeing increasing competition—making it more important than ever for platforms to differentiate from rivals. Another ecommerce giant, Amazon, has also joined the race of quick commerce through Now. After launching its service in Bangalore in June, Amazon expanded its quick commerce service to a few localities in Delhi in July. Besides, new players are also entering the online grocery delivery business by offering more premium and quality products. One such example is FirstClub. It is a new quick commerce platform that focuses on delivering a select range of premium products within 20-30 minutes. In September 2024, ET reported that Ayyappan R, former chief executive of Flipkart-owned Cleartrip, was set to launch FirstClub and was in talks with venture capital firms Accel and RTP Global for significant seed funding. Similarly, Mumbai-based LoveLocal is a hyperlocal delivery app for groceries, fresh vegetables, fruits, and other essentials. It connects users to their local kirana store or small supermarket to place their orders. Instead of speed, LoveLocal focuses on providing good quality and fresh products to its users.
