In continuation of the same, O.M.

It was also requested to issue necessary directions to all the attached/subordinate offices/undertakings etc. located in ‘A’ Region i.e. Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi and UTs of Andaman & Nicobar islands. In compliance of the above Ministry of Home Affairs issued circular No 11020/01/2013-Hindi dated 27th May, 2014. From the above, it is quite clear that the circular issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs was applicable only to Central Government offices and employees working in Region ‘A’ and the same is not applicable to State Governments.
The issuing of this circular is a part of routine official work. Hence, there appears no cause of apprehension for people in the non-Hindi speaking States.
