Ordinance to be repealed

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, SEPT. 24. The Union Cabinet today decided to repeal an ordinance that was issued in 1941 to provide for maintenance of certain essential services during World War II.

The old legislation has continued to remain on the statute book as the ordinance had no time-limit. A bill to repeal it would be moved in Parliament soon, official sources said.

The ordinance had nothing to do with the Essential Services Maintenance Acts enacted in 1968 and 1981.
