How many days in a week?

Journalists across the country went on a rather “softcore strike” on June 28 and during that time their leaders were “assured” by the political leadership that the government will “take up the issue” at the cabinet meeting “within a week”.

However, that “week” is gone and nothing has happened! Has the government forgotten basic numerals that there are only 7 days in a week and not 14 days or 30 days?

The Union Labour Minister who hails from Karnakata proudly announced that he was not against the Wageboard recommendations so were his colleagues. If all is well, then why this stretching of weeks and months?

Poor journalists! My sympathy with them. This is India, my friends and you know very well how our government works. So, don’t mind too much even if the government thinks that there are 356 days in a week.

Journalists know best how government functions and this may be the reason why they are not aggressive when they went on strike.

I think the government is folowing this formula:---
7 days=1 day
14 days= 2 days

Hehehe

The Supreme Court is taking up the issue now and it also said two weeks.... let's see that justice prevails.

What are the procedures to be followed while moving from one category to another category such as from 1A to 1B. For example, is it correct to move an employee in the basic Rs 17,105 under Rs 485 increment in 3 (1A) to the basic Rs 17,115 under Rs 680 increment in 3 (1B)? Or should he be given an increment and moved to Rs 17,795? I am more particular about basic rules that are to be followed.
