IAS officer Parampal Kaur Sidhu's resignation accepted, rejecting VRS; will contest Bathinda Lok Sabha seat for BJP, losing retirement benefits.
IAS officer Parampal Kaur Sidhu, the BJP candidate for Bathinda Lok Sabha seat, has had her resignation accepted by the Punjab government, rejecting her VRS plea. Despite losing out on retirement benefits, such as pension, she believes contesting for the BJP is a reward more valuable than the pensionary benefits. The state government had previously asked her to resume duties or face action, as they did not treat other officers opting for VRS in the same manner.
