Education department employees in Punjab protested salary cuts and pay disparities through unique demonstrations, including placing a symbolic 'golak' in Jalandhar and climbing water tanks in Dirba. The protests highlight grievances over a Rs 31,000 monthly salary reduction and alleged discriminatory pay scales affecting certain teachers. Officials, including Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema, have been urged to address these issues, with unions warning of further actions if resolutions are not reached in upcoming meetings.
