Hold Meetings with Employee Unions, Address their Concerns
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, November 6-
Punjab cabinet minister Harpal Singh Cheema on Wednesday directed the Education Department to resolve the legitimate demands of Unaided Staff Front (Aided School) on priority. This directive came during meetings chaired by him as Chairman of Cabinet Sub-Committee with various employee unions at his office here.
In a subsequent meeting with the Daftri Karamchari Union, Cheema informed the union representatives that the Cabinet Sub-Committee had asked the Officers’ Committee to consider the issue of school office staff regularization, similar to the regularization of teachers in 2018 and 2022, and to submit a report within one month. He also directed the School Education Department to resolve the pay anomaly issue raised by these employees as soon as possible.
The Murr Bahal Adhiyapak union demanded the swift completion of their reinstatement process. In response, Cabinet Minister Cheema directed the School Education Department to prepare a list of the sacked teachers and verify the reasons for their dismissal. He emphasized that cases of teachers dismissed for unjustified reasons should be considered sympathetically.
