Punjab Aided College Teachers Protest Over Grant Reductions and Pending Arrears
Teachers from aided colleges in Punjab's Amritsar, Tarn Taran, Jalandhar, and Kapurthala districts have staged protests demanding restoration of the 95% Grant-in-Aid, payment of pending Seventh Pay Commission arrears, conversion of self-financed posts to grant-covered posts, and clearance of Career Advancement Scheme promotions. Organized by the Punjab and Chandigarh College Teachers' Union, these protests highlight concerns over financial insecurity and delayed government responses. Union leaders have warned of intensifying agitation if demands remain unaddressed.
