Punjab Government Employees Protest Statewide Over Unmet Service and Financial Demands
Punjab government employees have initiated a two-day mass casual leave to protest against the government's inaction on their long-standing service-related and financial demands. The protests are taking place outside Deputy Commissioner’s offices throughout the state, with support from the Punjab PUNBUS PRTC Contract Workers Union. Employees are specifically demanding the release of 18 percent of pending dearness allowance arrears and the permanent status for contractual workers, a promise the government has yet to fulfill. This strike follows multiple previous protests highlighting the ongoing grievances of the workforce.
