Punjab Teachers Await February Salaries Amid Budget Shortage Claims

Teachers in Punjab have not received their February salaries over 12 days past the due date, with unions and the Democratic Teachers' Front (DTF) attributing delays to alleged budget shortages despite government claims of increased revenue. Union leaders expressed concern over financial hardships faced by teachers and warned of potential protests if payments are not made promptly. The government has yet to release the required funds to district authorities responsible for salary disbursement.
