PUTA Reschedules 2026-27 Elections to October 28; Incumbent Team Withdraws
The Panjab University Teachers' Association (PUTA) has rescheduled its 2026-27 elections to October 28 after resolving issues related to membership-fee transactions that caused a delay from the original September 30 date. The election schedule announcement was later than prescribed by the association's constitution, drawing criticism from some faculty. Meanwhile, the incumbent Naura-Mritunjay team, which led the last term, has opted out of contesting the upcoming polls but affirmed ongoing commitment to faculty welfare and highlighted achievements and pending issues.
